The development of the geopressured resource: A status report
As a response to the America's need for alternate energy sources, the United States Department of Energy has a Geothermal Program. Within this program is a category to study Geopressured Energy. Today many activities are taking place under the Geopressured Program. These activities for the most part fall under one of the following categories: Well Operations, Geoscience and Engineering Support and Energy Conversion. To date this program has had many successes. However, there is still more information needed concerning the Geopressured Resource. It is thought that continued research will give the developer a better understanding of the Geopressured resource and in turn increase the likelihood of its development. 3 refs.
