Probing of high temperature geothermal reservoirs from electrical methods : HiTI EC project and the IDDP
 
The general objective of the HiTI EC Project is to 
provide geophysical and geochemical sensors and 
methods to evaluate deep geothermal reservoirs up to 
supercritical conditions (T>380°C). Supercritical 
geothermal wells are still non-conventional but may 
provide a very efficient way to produce electricity from 
clean, renewable source. A deep geothermal well is to 
be drilled in 2008 for this purpose into the NE Icelandic 
Krafla volcanic zone, as part of the IDDP (“Iceland Deep 
Drilling Project”).
Aimed at exploring supercritical reservoirs, HiTI is to 
develop build and test in the field new laboratory or 
downhole tools and methods for deep high-
temperature boreholes and a highly corrosive 
environment.
The new set of tools and methods has been chosen to 
describe in particular the supercritical reservoir 
structure and dynamics.
