Featured article: Cooling-induced permeability enhancement for networks of microfractures in superhot geothermal environments

At 400 °C and under true triaxial stress, Goto et al. successfully recreated the high-temperature, high-pressure conditions in the lab as found in superhot/supercritical conditions. Their aim: to investigate the changes in permeability properties of dense networks of microfractures by inducing cooling in the geothermal system. To see their findings, click on the link.

Aims and scope

Geothermal Energy – Science, Society and Technology focuses on fundamental and applied research needed to deploy technologies for developing and integrating geothermal energy as one key element in the future energy portfolio. Contributions include geological, geophysical, and geochemical studies, exploration of geothermal fields, reservoir characterization and modeling, development of productivity-enhancing methods, and approaches to achieve robust and economic plant operation. Geothermal EnergyScience, Society and Technology serves to examine the interaction of individual system components while taking the whole process into account, from the development of the reservoir to the economic provision of geothermal energy.

Geothermal Energy & Geothermal Energy Science merger

Geothermal Energy merged with the open-access journal Geothermal Energy Science on 1 July 2017. For previous articles published in Geothermal Energy Science please visit the homepage.
