The Effect of Silicate Ions on the Separation of Lithium From Geothermal Fluid

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemical Engineering, 2022
In an enhanced geothermal system (EGS), geothermal energy in rocks with insufficient permeability or fluid saturation can be used by creating artificial geothermal reservoirs.

Fracture Transmissivity in Prospective Host Rocks for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) [PDF]

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
We experimentally determined the hydraulic properties of fractures within various rock types, focusing on a variety of Variscan rocks. Flow-through experiments were performed on slate, graywacke, quartzite, granite, natural fault gouge, and claystone samples containing an artificial fracture with a given roughness.

Overcoming challenges in the classification of deep geothermal potential [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The geothermal community lacks a universal definition of deep geothermal systems. A minimum depth of 400 m is often assumed, with a further sub-classification into middle-deep geothermal systems for reservoirs found between 400 and 1000 m.

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Well Construction Technology Evaluation Report [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
A synopsis of a report evaluating well construction technology for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) is presented. The assessment of well construction technology had two primary objectives: 1. Determining the ability of existing technologies to develop EGS wells. 2. Identifying critical well construction research lines and development technologies that

A concept of a supercritical CO2 Brayton and organic Rankine combined cycle for solar energy utilization with typical geothermal as auxiliary heat source: Thermodynamic analysis and optimization

open access: yesEnergy Reports, 2022
This paper presents an investigation of a supercritical CO2 Brayton and organic Rankine (sCO 2-ORC) combined cycle for solar energy utilization. This combined cycle uses typical geothermal as auxiliary heat source to enhance its thermodynamic performance.

Fault slip potential induced by fluid injection in the Matouying enhanced geothermal system (EGS) field, Tangshan seismic region, North China [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2022
The Tangshan region is one of the most seismically active areas in the North China, and the 1976 M 7.8 earthquake occurred on 28 July near the Tangshan fault zone.

Post-injection normal closure of fractures as a mechanism for induced seismicity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the controlling mechanisms underlying injection-induced seismicity is important for optimizing reservoir productivity and addressing seismicity-related concerns related to hydraulic stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems.

Earthquakes and very deep groundwater perturbation mutually induced

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
We report unique observations from drilling and hydraulic stimulation at a depth of approximately 4.3 km in two Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) wells at the Pohang EGS site, South Korea.
