This grant offered by the Geothermal Technologies Office’s Enhanced Geothermal Systems Subprogram aims to advance subsurface characterization through an integrated technical approach. The focus is on quantifying reservoir complexity by improving precision and accuracy of measured parameters such as heat transfer area, mean residence time, stresses, and porosity. Projects should enhance understanding of physicochemical conditions for optimizing subsurface engineering and stimulation methods, and assessing reservoir evolution and sustainability. Applications should address critical parameters to improve EGS research and development. Deadline for submission is April 30, 2014.

| Description: | Through this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the Geothermal Technologies Office?s (GTO) Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) Subprogram seeks to advance subsurface characterization via an integrated technical approach to EGS R&D ? GTO encourages the community to integrate technologies to address the challenges associated with quantifying reservoir complexity. GTO is interested in increasing the precision and accuracy of directly measured parameters and improving the ability to constrain calculated or inferred reservoir properties from these direct measurements. Critical parameters that GTO is interested in constraining include, but are not limited to: matrix to fracture heat transfer area; fluid mean residence time; in-situ stresses; fracture spacing; fracture aperture distribution; porosity; and reservoir volume. GTO seeks research projects that will facilitate a better understanding of physicochemical conditions to optimize subsurface en gineering and stimulation methods, as well as assess and better understand the evolution and sustainability of a reservoir during long-term operations. |
