| Abstract |
The main purpose of the geothermal program at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory is to develop, improved and validate methods and instrumentation to : (1) determine geothermal reservoir parameters; (2) detect and characterize reservoir fractures and boundaries; and (3) identify and evaluate the importance of reservoir processes. The ultimate objective of the program, which includes field, theoretical and modeling activities, is to advance the state of the art for characterizing geothermal systems and evaluating their productive capacity and longevity under commercial exploitation. |
