Geothermal Reservoir Engineering is a practical guide to the issues and tasks geothermal engineers encounter in the course of their daily jobs. The book focuses particularly on the evaluation of potential sites and provides detailed guidance on the field management of the power plants built on them. With an approach that roughly follows the chronological development of a field, it introduces and explains the fundamentals, highlighting important concepts and describing the techniques used in field practice and found to generate useful results. The authors explore methods and applications for quantitative modeling, downhole measurement, drilling, well completion and heating. Several methods of production testing are discussed, as well as conceptual models and simulations, well stimulation and engineered geothermal systems. In this new edition: all data and information has been updated according to the latest developments in the area; greater level of detail has been added to key-concepts and equations ; coverage of numerical techniques and reservoir simulation has been expanded, including discussion of how analytical and numerical reservoir modeling contributes to geothermal resources and reserves assessment and classification; geochemical methods and the nexus between reservoir engineering and geothermal power plants are explored. Geothermal Reservoir Engineering is a critical training tool and professional reference for both new and experienced geothermal reservoir engineers, geothermal professionals (engineers, scientists, managers), and energy engineering graduate students with a background in geosciences, engineering, or mathematics.
