DOI: DOI: 10.1007/978-981-95-0553-1Online resources: Summary: Overview of High-Temperature Geothermal Systems in the World -- Tectonic Backgrounds and Advances of Geothermal Developments in Japan -- High-Temperature Hydrothermal Systems Inducd from Shallow-Depth Magma -- Fundamentals of the Brittle–Ductile Transition in the Crust -- General Exploration Methods Applied for Geothermal Development -- Case studies I: High- and Ultra-High-Temperature Geothermal Fields in Japan and the World -- Geothermal Exploration Using the Optical Fiber Sensing: Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) Technology -- Latest Geothermal Exploration and Development -- Geothermal Systems and Geothermal Reservoirs -- Understanding of High-Temperature Zones in Geothermal Reservoirs -- Understanding of High Permeable Zones in Geothermal Reservoir -- Production Well Targeting Based on Geological Analyses -- Reinjection Wells -- Case studies II: Well Targeting Field Examples in Japan.Summary: This book provides a comprehensive characterization of high-temperature geothermal fields worldwide, encompassing diverse geological settings such as extensional and contractional tectonics, silicic and mafic crustal regions, hypersaline and low-salinity fluid environments, and both brittle and ductile lithospheric layers. It also details current geothermal exploration and development efforts in Japan. Emerging exploration technologies, including Full-waveform Inversion (FWI), Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS), and Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), are introduced and discussed in the context of their practical applications. A central challenge in geothermal development remains the accurate identification of viable targets for production and reinjection wells, as exploratory drilling entails significant costs. Accordingly, this book places special emphasis on target identification strategies, setting it apart from other works in the field. While global in scope, this book primarily focuses on geothermal development in Japan and features field-based case studies related to well targeting. Authored and reviewed by experienced geothermal engineers, it serves as a valuable resource for professionals engaged in geothermal exploration and reservoir engineering.PPN: PPN: 1947806106Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SXEE
