The Pennsylvania State University (PSU) would utilize DOE and cost share funding to explore the use of the Hydraulic Pulse Protocol (HPP) borehole tool to determine the initial characteristics of a geothermal reservoir at field scale, explore and develop protocols using the HPP tool to define how the dependency of these and other key characteristics of the reservoir would evolve under the action of stress, temperature and chemistry, and examine how this tool could help to constrain critical characteristics in the evolution of reservoir state.
