Funded Activity Summary

Towards efficient development of geothermal resources in Australia: an improved simulation package for fluid flow in fractured geothermal reservoirs. Australia possesses vast deep earth geothermal resources, which are cheap, clean, reliable, sustainable and renewable. By supporting the development of geothermal resources, the fundamental research project will greatly contribute to many Australian social and economic priorities: providing immediate mitigation of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions; reducing dependence on external sources of fuels and oil price uncertainty; meeting the country's growing energy needs; therefore, supporting an Environmentally Sustainable Australia. Moreover, the project enhances Australian research recognition in the fields of fractured and geothermal simulation. It also provides high level education for five research students.
