Peter Leary

Peter Leary's interests include the physics of rock-fluid interaction in the brittle-fracture crust. This interest began with earthquakes in California (while at Princeton and the University of Southern California), progressed with more accessible rock-fluid interaction data from the North Sea oil/gas province (University of Edinburgh), sharpened considerably working on geothermal flow processes (University of Auckland), and now finds practical application in pursuit of seismic images of flow structures for accurate geothermal production well siting (GeoFlowImaging.com).

Sarulla Geothermal Project: Tapping Indonesia’s Geothermal Resources

Dependence on fossil fuels exposes Indonesia to frequent changes in the price and supply of oil and coal, and increases greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. A project backed by Asian Development Bank (ADB) will help harness Indonesia’s largely untapped geothermal resources, allowing the country to meet its power demand while promoting a clean energy source.
