An international group of experts is holding a 3-day workshop in Taipei, on the exploration and development of acid volcanic geothermal systems for power generation.
A three-day technical workshop that focuses on the exploration and development of acid volcanic geothermal systems for electricity power production will be held in Taipei, Taiwan, 15-17 May 2017.
The workshop will draw together internationally renowned geothermal technical experts from New Zealand, Philippines, Indonesia, USA, Japan and Taiwan. Presenters will present work on a range of topics that include:
- The geology of Tatun Volcano, and its geothermal system;
- Conceptual models of acid volcanic geothermal systems;
- Strategies for geothermal well drilling in aggressive reservoir conditions;
- Materials selection technologies for acid geothermal energy projects;
- Case studies from acid volcanic geothermal systems in Indonesia, Philippines and Japan.
The workshop will include a one-day Tatun Volcano field trip to visit geothermal surface features and the drill site of the latest exploration well.
