Geothermal energy production is based on production of hot water from the subsurface, and exploit the energy in the water for heating and electricity production. To increase the profitability of a geothermal site, the target rock formation should have high temperatures; commonly more than 200 degrees C. Such conditions are most readily available on locations…

The SiGS project goal is to extend the understanding of superheated and supercritical geothermal resources and their response to engineering operations by combining tailored mathematical and numerical modeling with field observations. The study of energy production from superheated and supercritical conditions entails understanding a complex interaction between fluid flow, transport of energy and chemical species,…
