Applications of Geothermally-Produced Colloidal Silica in Reservoir Management Smart Gels
In enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) the reservoir permeability is often enhanced or created using hydraulic fracturing. In hydraulic fracturing, high fluid pressures are applied to confined zones in the subsurface usually using packers to fracture the host rock. This enhances r...
