| Abstract |
The Reservoir Engineering Management Program being conducted at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory includes two major tasks: continuation of support to geothermal reservoir engineering related work, started under the NSF-RANN program and transferred to ERDA at the time of its formation; tion of a broad plan for support of research in topics related to the exploitation of geothermal reservoirs. This plan is now known as the GREMP plan. 1) the 2) the development and subsequent implementation- The continuation of support of research to NSF-RANN contract recipients has been reasonably straightforward. All these groups were conducting research that could be related to an improved capability to exploit geothermal resources and, accordingly, all contracts were continued and are in force at this time. Included here are the contracts at institutions shown in Figure 1, which also indicates briefly the scope of work being done. In FY '77, $515 K was spent in support of these programs. It is estimated that $400 K will be spent on these contracts in FY '78. |
