Geothermal Energy Engineering

Capture the untapped power beneath our feet with Geothermal Energy Engineering — a definitive resource by Silviu Livescu and Birol Dindoruk. Whether you’re an engineer, researcher, policymaker, or student, this book delivers a clear pathway from theory to field-ready practice for exploring, designing, and managing geothermal systems.

Begin with strong fundamentals: heat transfer, reservoir physics, multiphase flow, and wellbore dynamics are explained with precision and real-world clarity. Move into advanced topics — reservoir simulation, production optimization, drilling and completion strategies, and environmental risk management — all framed for practical decision-making. The text emphasizes site assessment, resource estimation, and the economic and regulatory considerations that determine project viability.

Highly relevant across the globe, the book’s insights apply to geothermal projects from Iceland and New Zealand to California, Indonesia, and the East African Rift. Engineers working on low-enthalpy district heating, binary-cycle power plants, or high-temperature steam fields will find methods and models they can adapt to local geology and market conditions.

This professional, accessible guide balances rigorous engineering with actionable guidance, helping readers reduce uncertainty, improve project performance, and accelerate the deployment of sustainable geothermal energy. Richly technical yet reader-friendly, it’s ideal for graduate courses, field engineers, consultants, and industry leaders seeking to expand clean-energy portfolios.
