The goals are to bring together engineers, scientists and managers involved in geothermal reservoir studies; provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on the exploration, development and use of geothermal resources.

Dates: February 22-24, 2016
Location: Frances C. Arrillaga Alumni Center—Directions
326 Galvez St., Stanford, CA 94305-6105

Final Program:
Come join the 41st anniversary of the Stanford Geothermal Workshop — one of the world’s longest running technical meetings on the topic of geothermal energy!

Goals:
The goals of the conference are to bring together engineers, scientists and managers involved in geothermal reservoir studies and developments; provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on the exploration, development and use of geothermal resources; and to enable prompt and open reporting of progress. We strongly encourage all scientists and engineers involved in geothermal reservoir technology to attend the workshop.

Topics:
Papers will be presented on recent research relating to geothermal reservoirs including:

  • 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 modeling, hydro-fracturing, scaling
  • Low Enthalpy Systems: applications of heat pumps, hot dry rock technology
  • Geosciences: application of geophysics, geochemistry, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.
