9780080379296 English 008037929X The Camborne School of Mines Geothermal Energy Project in Cornwall is leading the world's Hot Dry Rock geothermal technology research. It has been sponsored since 1980 by the UK Department of Energy, and for the period up to 1986 by the Commission of the European Communities. The granites of South West England are covered, with sections on lithology, mineralogy, structure and jointing, thus forming a background to the understanding of reservoir development and long-term circulation behaviour. A well was drilled and reservoir characteristics monitored using logging, microseismics and other geothermal techniques. The chemistry of the water-rock interaction was extensively studied and traces used to further characterise the reservoir. Work is being continued in Phase 2C, alongside a review of the current status of HDR technology. Phase 2B of the Project covers the period 1983-86 during which major advances in the understanding of the technology were made.
