The Preliminary schedule for the 42nd Stanford Geothermal Workshop has been released. The event will take place at Stanford University in California, February 13-15, 2017.
With papers on the following topics, the workshop will highlight recent research relating to geothermal reservoirs:
- Case Studies: reservoir response to production, effects of injection, scaling characteristics
- Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS): current and future activities
- Engineering Techniques: reservoir simulation, empirical methods, well tests, tracers
- Field Management: strategies for exploitation, injection, scale inhibition
- Exploration: geophysics, geochemistry, geology, heat flow studies, outflows
- Drilling and Well Bore Flows: well stimulation, bore flow modelling, hydro-fracturing, scaling
- Low Enthalpy Systems: applications of heat pumps, hot dry rock technology
- Geosciences: application of geophysics, geochemistry, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
Around 240 papers are on the schedule to be presented, so there will be something for everyone.
