The investigation and exploration of potential deep geothermal systems is based on detailed knowledge of their distinct reservoir characteristics. This is especially important in the exploration of potentially engineered geothermal systems and of mid to low enthalpy reservoir formations in greater depths, resp. In the early stages of geothermal reservoir exploration, characterization of the res...

Pengrowth has targeted East Bodo (Alberta side) and Cosine (Saskatchewan side) for waterflood optimization and subsequent enhanced oil recovery applications. Currently, the most practical EOR technology for this heavy oil reservoir seems to be the polymer flood technology in combination with horizontal wells. Several investigators(1-4) have demonstrated the potential of the polymer flood techno...

This paper presents a user-interactive decision support system (DSS) for the management of the Lake Kariba reservoir. Built in the fourth-generation computer language IFPS, the system takes into account relevant reservoir characteristics and parameters, such as the amount of hydropower generated, reservoir storage throughout the year, and the amount of water released for down-stream usage. The ...

Hydroelectric Pumped Storage (PHS) is the most widely utilised form of large-scale electrical energy storage (EES). The energy is stored as the potential energy of water raised against gravity. Water is pumped from a lower reservoir (1) to a higher reservoir (2), using the energy provided by the pumping unit (3), storing it as potential energy in the water. Figure 1 is a simple scheme of a PHS ...
