Artificial geothermal reservoirs in hot volcanic rock

Aamodt, RL (Los Alamos Scientific Lab., 1974-02-08)

S>Some recent results from the Los Alamos program in which hydraulic fracturing is used for the recovery of geothermal energy are discussed. The location is about 4 kilometers west and south of the ring fault of the ...
Comparative assessment of five potential sites for hydrothermal-magma systems : Energy transport

Hardee, HC (Sandia National Laboratories, 1980-09-01)

A comparative assessment of five sites is being prepared as part of a Continental Scientific Drilling Program (CSDP) review of thermal regimes for the purpose of scoping areas for future research and drilling activities. ...
Conceptual design 10 MW experimental power generation facility

(Lawrence Berkeley Lab., University of California Berkeley, 1974-09-30)

The overall or ultimate program envisions a small (10 MW) field experimental, highly instrumented, binary fluid cycle power plant facility planned to confirm the concept and evaluate technical and economic feasibility of ...
Magma energy : a feasible alternative

Colp, JL (Sandia Laboratories, 1980-03-01)

A short review of the work performed by Sandia Laboratories in connection with its Magma Energy Research Project is provided. Results to date suggest that boreholes will remain stable down to magma depths and engineering ...
Magma-Tap : The ultimate geothermal energy program

Colp, John L (Sandia Laboratories, 1974-11)

The objective of the Direct Magma Tap Research Program now under way at Sandia Laboratories is to investigate the feasibility of extracting energy directly from deeply buried circulating magma sources. With temperatures ...
Status of the Magma Energy Project

Dunn, JC (Sandia National Laboratories, 1987-01-01)

The current magma energy project is assessing the engineering feasibility of extracting thermal energy directly from crustal magma bodies. The estimated size of the US resource (50,000 to 500,000 quads) suggests a considerable ...
