Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) R&D Program, Status Report: Foreign Research on Enhanced Geothermal Systems [PDF]
, 2000 This report reviews enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) research outside the United States. The term ''enhanced geothermal systems'' refers to the use of advanced technology to extract heat energy from underground in areas with higher than average heat flow but where the natural permeability or fluid content is limited.

Thermo‐Hydrodynamic Processes of Microparticles in Fractures: A CFD–DEM Approach
International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Controlling fracture permeability plays a critical role in subsurface energy applications, particularly in geothermal energy production and enhanced carbon sequestration, where regulating fluid flow is essential. The use of microcapsules has become a promising solution to enhance fracture permeability by providing a controlled sealing ...

Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) R&D Program: Monitoring EGS-Related Research [PDF]
, 2000 This report reviews technologies that could be applicable to Enhanced Geothermal Systems development. EGS covers the spectrum of geothermal resources from hydrothermal to hot dry rock. We monitored recent and ongoing research, as reported in the technical literature, that would be useful in expanding current and future geothermal fields. The literature

Groundwater, EarlyView.Abstract Numerical modeling has been widely used to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy development at sites across the world, but modeling applications simulating the potential impacts on shallow hydrothermal resources and surface water are relatively scarce. In this study, we apply the MODFLOW 6 groundwater energy (GWE) code to simulate fully

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract A small phreatic eruption occurred on April 2018 Iwo‐yama, Kirishima volcanic complex, Japan. We estimated the change in the subsurface resistivity structure before and after the phreatic eruption by repeated magnetotelluric (MT) measurements. A substantial decrease in resistivity was determined in the zone from the surface down to a depth of ...

Influence of Temperature on Seismic Moment as a Diagnostic for Crustal Permeability Creation
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Understanding what controls permeability is important in modulating crustal processes and the recovery of fuels and energy from the subsurface. Permeability may be created by the reactivation of fractures creating connected flow pathways that result in microearthquakes (MEQs).

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract One promising potential site for extracting supercritical geothermal fluids is the Krafla volcano, Iceland, into which a borehole was drilled very close to a shallow rhyolite magma chamber at about 2 km depth. Besides the technical challenge to drill in this setting, the extreme temperature conditions of T > 900°C close to the magma body may ...
