Preliminary Assessment of a Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Reservoir Formed by Hydraulic Fracturing

If a mass of relatively impermeable hot rock can be hydraulically fractured and if a heat extraction fluid can be circulated through the fracture and recovered, appreciable amounts of energy can be extracted from the rock. The Los Alamos Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy Project is designed to investig...
