Geochemistry: Geochemical characterization of geothermal systems is critical for defining reservoir characteristics, estimating resource temperatures, designing facilities, and monitoring assets. This topic covers all geochemistry submissions including exploration, monitoring existing fields, scale issues and solutions, etc.Closed Loop Geothermal Systems: Closed loop geothermal systems, also called Advanced Geothermal Systems (AGS) can dramatically scale and expand the scope of geothermal for heat and power. This session covers applications, technologies, deployments, and updates related to closed loop geothermal systems.
