The Eleventh Annual EPRI Geothermal Conference and Workshop was held in Oakland, California, June 23--25, 1987. This volume contains the proceedings of the conference, the theme of which was ''Basis for Expansion.'' Technical sessions included presentations on EPRI research concerning wellhead power systems, upstream noncondensable gas removal, geothermal chemistry, the Heber Binary Project, downwell pump technology and flash crystallization for scale control. Other technical sessions included presentations by electric utility companies regarding their geothermal projects, by the US Department of Energy (DOE) on its geothermal program, and by DOE contractors on advanced geothermal source (magma energy and hot dry rock). A panel discussion followed by working group discussions focused on the conference theme, exploring how past, current and future research, development and commercial projects can provide the basis for the expansion of geothermal power generation in the United States. Technical papers, panelists' perspectives and workshop summaries are included in this volume.
