Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) leads numerical modeling working group to investigate fracturing and fracture flow in nominally impermeable rock
Imagine a week at the office where much of each day is spent 5,000 feet underground.
It’s all in a day’s work for PNNL researchers as part of DOE’s collaborative Enhanced Geothermal Systems project, or EGS Collab.
The $9 million multi-lab EGS Collab is designed to perform field experiments and numerical simulations to understand the creation of fracture networks and fluid flow through those networks deep underground. The project is funded by DOE’s Geothermal Technologies Office and led by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
