Multioffset VSP for the integrated geophysical characterization of the Grado (NE Italy) carbonatic reservoir

open access: yes, 2013
We present the results of a multi-offset vertical seismic profile (VSP) acquired in the Grado-1 (North Eastern Italy) geothermal exploration well in the framework of an integrated VSP, seismic and gravimetric survey.

Caving‐enhanced geothermal system overwhelms fracturing‐ and pipe‐enhanced geothermal system in heat extraction

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that caving‐enhanced geothermal systems (C‐EGS) with adequately fractured reservoirs achieve optimal heat extraction by minimizing preferential flow paths, while conventional fracturing (F‐EGS) and pipe‐based (P‐EGS) systems suffer accelerated thermal drawdown.

Rock typing in geothermal reservoirs: application of textural descriptors

open access: yes, 2016
Geothermal energy is a key in the transition to 90% renewable electricity production by 2025, which is a target set by New Zealand government. 22% of the current national electricity generation comes from geothermal resources and it is expected to keep ...

An Early Numerical Prediction of the United Downs Deep Geothermal Power Project, United Kingdom

open access: yes, 2020
The United Kingdom has been at the forefront of testing the feasibility of hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal energy resources since the mid-1970s. Several experiments were carried out between 1977 to 1991 at the Rosemanowes site in Cornwall.
