• 11. [Image] Electricity from Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy: Technical and Economic Issues

  	Extraction of energy from hot dry rock would make available a nearly unlimited energy source. Some of the technical problems and possible economic tradeoffs involved in a power generating system are examined ...
  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Electricity from Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy: Technical and Economic Issues Author: Tester, J.W. Year: 1979 Extraction of energy from hot dry rock would make available a nearly unlimited energy source. Some of the technical problems and possible economic tradeoffs involved in a power generating system are examined and possible solutions proposed. An intertemporal optimization computer model of electricity production from a hot dry rock geothermal source has been constructed. The effects of reservoir degradation, variable fluid flow rate, and drilling operations are examined to determine optimal strategies for reservoir management and necessary conditions for economic feasibility Title: Electricity from Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Energy: Technical and Economic Issues Author: Tester, J.W.

• 12. [Image] Evaulation of the Makushin Geothermal Reservoir, Unalaska Island

  	Analysis of an extended flow test of well ST-1 on the flanks of Makushin Volcano indicates an extensive, water-dominated, naturally fractured reservoir. The reservoir appears to be capable of delivering ...
  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Evaulation of the Makushin Geothermal Reservoir, Unalaska Island Author: Economides, M. J. Year: 1984 Analysis of an extended flow test of well ST-1 on the flanks of Makushin Volcano indicates an extensive, water-dominated, naturally fractured reservoir. The reservoir appears to be capable of delivering extremely large flows when tapped by full-size production wells. A productivity index in excess of 30,000 lb/hr/psi implies a phenomenal permeability-thickness product Title: Evaulation of the Makushin Geothermal Reservoir, Unalaska Island Author: Economides, M.
