Preface

This tutorial presents the introduction of the open-source software OpenGeoSys (OGS) for enhanced geothermal reservoir modeling. The material is mainly based on several national training courses at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research—UFZ in Leipzig and the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany, but also international training courses on the subject held in Guangzhou, China, in 2013. The Soultz-sous-Forêts case study was kindly provided by Sebastian Held and Thomas Kohl at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany
