Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Geothermal energy [means] heat generated by natural processes within the earth. Chief energy resources are hot dry rock, magma(molten rock), hydrothermal(water/steam from geysers and fissures and geopressure(water saturated with methane under tremendous pressure at great depths).  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - geothermal%20energy

L'énergie géothermique est constituée par les eaux chaudes ou la vapeur des nappes souterraines à grande profondeur ou par celle des geysers; elle est surtout utilisable dans les régions volcaniques, à relief tourmenté, où l'eau très chaude peut être exploitée à profondeur réduite.  4, fiche 2, Français, - %C3%A9nergie%20g%C3%A9othermique

Hot dry rock process(petrophysical systems). Hot rock layers at a depth of 4, 000 to 7, 000 meters are used with this new system which has not yet been fully developed. Water is pressed into the hot rock via a borehole and the heated water is then fed back to the surface and used to supply heat or produce electricity.  5, fiche 3, Anglais, - hot%20dry%20rock%20process

[Technique dans laquelle] de l'eau froide est injectée dans un puits de 1 900 mètres de profondeur aboutissant dans un massif granitique où la température ambiante est d'environ 170 °C. L'eau est conduite par un réseau de fractures en pente jusqu'à un puits plus profond où les infiltrations sont pompées. La vapeur d'eau récupérée est à une température moyenne de 150 °C. Elle est alors traitée pour être distribuée dans les foyers avoisinants, à des fins de consommation courante [...]  1, fiche 3, Français, - proc%C3%A9d%C3%A9%20RCS

... another possible way of creating permeability in hot dry rocks is «impact fracturing». This method... [may be described in its principle. ] A bore, cased except near the lower extremity, is surmounted by a hydraulic accumulator, filled with water and pressurized by means of a pump until the accumulator weight is lifted. The lifting pressure should be perhaps about 90% of the estimated hydro-fracturing pressure. A dynamic blow would then be struck upon the top of the water column by means of some device resembling a pile-driver, so that shock waves would travel to the base of the bore and be reflected up and down at attenuating intensity. Very high instantaneous pressures would be generated which would fracture the rock, and it is expected that the steepness of the pressure rise would be such as to resemble explosive action, so that the «star» formation... would be produced.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - impact%20fracturing
