This course is based on a study by the Department of Energy (DOE) concerning the technological requirements of commercializing the geothermal technology, Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). EGS have been proposed as a viable means of extracting the earth’s vast geothermal resources. Discussed are design aspects of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), as opposed to conventional, naturally-occurring convective geothermal systems. The vast majority of geothermal energy within drilling reach is in dry non-porous rock. To convert this geologic medium into a viable geothermal resource requires fracturing the rock through a process called hydraulic stimulation, in order to improve fluid flow through the hot rock.
