Roughly 90% of the geothermal power resource in the United States is thought to reside in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). While realization of EGS development on the 100+ GWe scale would make geothermal a significant component of the renewable energy portfolio, hurdles to commercial development still remain in accessing and characterizing, creating, monitoring, operating, and sustaining engineered reservoirs. In August 2011 the Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), convened a workshop in San Francisco, CA, to outline opportunities for advancing EGS technologies on five-to 20-year timescales. Community input charted technology needs categorized within the functional stages of Characterizing, Creating, and Operating EGS reservoirs. In this paper we present technical paths identifying, creating, and managing fractures and flow paths; monitoring flow paths and fracture evolution; zonal isolation; drilling; models; and tools that encompass the underlying technology needs identified at the workshop as critical to optimizing and ultimately commercializing EGS. We develop the chronological evolution of these paths, tying the past and current status of each to the active GTO EGS research and development (R&D) portfolio, anticipating milestones that strategic initiatives could help to realize on a five-year timescale, and projecting to target capabilities for 2030. The resulting structure forms the basis for an EGS Technology Roadmap to help guide priorities for future GTO EGS R&D investments. State of EGS Since the early 1970s, several large-scale EGS field projects reached varying degrees of success, though the majority of EGS developers and researchers would conclude that EGS has yet to be validated as an optimized technology on a commercial scale. Fenton Hill, Rosemanowes, Le Mayet, Hijiori, Soultz, and Cooper Basin (Wyborn, 2011) targeted granitic reservoir host rocks at depths in excess of 2 km to achieve temperatures sufficient for electric power production. With the exception of the Landau project in Germany, past projects have not successfully sustained commercial production rates (50-100 kg/sec). Note that the characteristics of Landau suggest that it is a stimulated hydrothermal reservoir and not a "green-field" EGS development (e.g., Baria and Petty, 2008). Each of these historic EGS projects, however, has played an integral role in informing the future direction of EGS research and development, having added significantly to our understanding of micro to macro-scale issues associated with EGS.
