To support a program of research, development, demonstration, and commercial application for enhanced geothermal systems.
Eligible uses include -- (1) reservoir stimulation;(2) drilled, non-stimulated (e.g. closed-loop) reservoir technologies;(3) reservoir characterization, monitoring, and modeling and understanding of the surface area and volume of fractures;(4) stress and fracture mapping including real time monitoring and modeling;(5) tracer development;(6) three and four-dimensional seismic imaging and tomography;(7) well placement and orientation;(8) long-term reservoir management;(9) drilling technologies, methods, and tools;(10) improved exploration tools;(11) zonal isolation; and(12) understanding induced seismicity risks from reservoir engineering and stimulation.
