Towards efficient development of geothermal resources in Australia: an improved simulation package for fluid flow in fractured geothermal reservoirs

澳大利亚拥有丰富的深部地热资源，这些资源廉价、清洁、可靠、可持续和可再生。通过支持地热资源的开发，基础研究项目将极大地促进澳大利亚的许多社会和经济优先事项：立即缓解气候变化和温室气体排放；减少对外部燃料来源的依赖和石油价格的不确定性；满足该国日益增长的能源需求；因此，支持一个环境可持续的澳大利亚。此外，该项目还提高了澳大利亚在裂缝和地热模拟领域的研究认可度。它还为五名研究生提供高水平的教育。

Australia possesses vast deep earth geothermal resources, which are cheap, clean, reliable, sustainable and renewable. By supporting the development of geothermal resources, the fundamental research project will greatly contribute to many Australian social and economic priorities: providing immediate mitigation of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions; reducing dependence on external sources of fuels and oil price uncertainty; meeting the country's growing energy needs; therefore, supporting an Environmentally Sustainable Australia. Moreover, the project enhances Australian research recognition in the fields of fractured and geothermal simulation. It also provides high level education for five research students.
