19–23 October 2013 • Park City, Utah, USA
New technologies of permeability enhancement that have transformed the oil and gas exploration industry in recent years also have the potential to transform the geothermal power industry.
The goal of this proposed Penrose Conference is to gather together experts in both the Earth and engineering sciences, and from academia, government, and industry, to focus on particular basic science challenges for developing deep, hot stratigraphic reservoirs for geothermal power. Namely, what controls long fluid pathways in sedimentary basins and how can these be predicted and/or enhanced?
Although the conference is almost fully subscribed, some additional requests to attend can be made by August 30 by applying to john.holbrook@tcu.edu, including a brief statement of interests, the relevance your recent work to the theme of the conference, and contact information. (Also include whether you would be attending the Geothermal Short Course and/or the Full-Day
Field Trip). Upon selection, you will be sent final registration information.
