Thematic Challenges

Challenges of the ICGR

Towards a demonstration programme integrating the different research areas involved:  

• Exploration: finding access to potential reservoirs at depth
• Geothermal wells: improving drilling and completion technologies
• Reservoir engineering: stimulating the fluid flow underground
• Exploitation: improving the efficiency and reliability
• Development of the geothermal learning curve focusing on economic geothermal utilization
• Energy supply by developing and optimizing technologies in R+D demonstration programms
