Power Environmental Energy Research Institute (PEER) would develop a matrix of geothermal tracer and tracer interpretation tools to accurately detect reservoir characteristics including fluid pathways, dynamics, residence time, etc. which could lead to information beyond well-to-well connectivity under geothermal conditions. Laboratory work would be done at PEER Institute's laboratory at 738 Arrow Grand Circle, Covina CA. Computer simulations would be done at the Material and Process Simulation Center (MSC) at Caltech and Mount Princeton Geothermal LLC (MPG) would assist on the field test.
