To exploit the energy in these deep rocks poses technical challenges in drilling, well completion, creation of the heat exchange reservoir at depth, and control of seismicity. In spite of the diffi culties, what are now known as enhanced/engineered geothermal systems (EGS) off er almost limitless clean energy, so it is not surprising that this technology continues to attract investors. However, commercial energy production from the greatest potential resource, hot rock at depths >5 km or temperatures >200° C, remains elusive. ... date: 2008-07 date_type: published publication: The Leading Edge volume: 27 number: 7 publisher: Society of Exploration Geophysicists pagerange: 856-869 id_number: doi:10.1190/1.2954024 refereed: TRUE issn: 1070-485X official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1190/1.2954024 access_IS-EPOS: unlimited owner: Publisher citation: Dyer, B.
