In Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), hydraulic stimulation is used to increase the flow rate achievable during circulation between geothermal wells. The technology promises to unlock greatly increased geothermal production. Recent projects have applied principles from multistage hydraulic fracturing and achieved dramatically improved results, generating renewed optimism about the scalability of the approach. This course will cover key concepts related to hydraulic fracturing and reservoir engineering in EGS. The goal will be to teach geoscientists and engineers about the key issues and parameters related to designing EGS stimulation and projecting future production.

This course will be helpful for engineers interested in building more understanding of hydraulic stimulation and reservoir engineering for Enhanced Geothermal Systems.

Course Objectives

Basics of geothermal energy
Historical experience with EGS
Stimulation mechanisms - fundamentals and field experience
Key physical processes
Modern/recent case studies
Design parameters for economic optimization
Effect of thermoelastic stresses

Important notes regarding short courses:

Short courses are limited in size and are reserved on a first come, first served basis and must be accompanied by full payment.
If you do not plan to attend URTeC, a $35 enrollment fee will be added to the short course fee upon registering. This fee can be applied to a full-conference registration should you change your mind later.
A wait list is automatically created when a short course sells out. You will be notified if you are on a wait list and space becomes available.
Before purchasing non-refundable airline tickets, confirm the short course will take place as some may be cancelled if undersubscribed.
Please register well before 6 May 2024 to help guarantee your spot. Short course cancellations will be considered at this time — no refunds will be accepted for cancellations after this date.
Registrations will continue to be processed for short courses that are not cancelled up until they are sold out or closed.
