These researchers will explore the DNA fingerprints of the microbial community of a geothermal reservoir, a technology that has become economical only recently. The work could greatly improve the resolution of reservoir characterization, fracture simulation research, and performance of conventional geothermal reservoirs and enhanced geothermal systems.
