| Abstract | Previous attempts to connect Fenton Hill Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Site Wells EE-2 and EE-3 by pumping 150 thousand to 1.3 million gallons of water had not achieved a detectable hydraulic fracture connection. Therefore, preparations were made to conduct, in December 1983, a 4 to 6 million gallon, 50 BPM water injection in EE-2. The objective as to enlarge the previously created reservoir in EE-2 using massive hydraulic fracturing (MHF). The planning, preparations, operations and results of the MHF are presented here. |
