Field observations, preliminary model analysis, and aquifer thermal efficiency: Cyclic injection, storage, and withdrawal of heated water in a sandstone aquifer at St. Paul, Minnesota. Professional paper

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:80637
The report describes the (1) analysis of field observations for aquifer characterization and observation network design, (2) preliminary model analysis to determine model sensitivity to hydraulic and thermal characteristics and to facilitate final model design, and (3) aquifer thermal efficiency. The report is the first of three reports that describes the potential for thermal-energy storage within the Franconia-Ironton-Galesville aquifer located beneath the St. Paul campus of the University of Minnesota.
