geothermal reservoir engineering

Geothermal reservoir engineering involves studying and managing underground regions where natural heat is stored, known as geothermal reservoirs. Engineers analyze how heat and fluids, such as hot water or steam, move through underground rocks to efficiently extract energy for power generation or heating. They design methods to develop these reservoirs, optimize fluid extraction, and ensure sustainable use while minimizing environmental impact. By understanding the underground environment and fluid behaviors, geothermal reservoir engineers help harness Earth's heat in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner to provide renewable energy solutions.
