The primary objective of the Stanford Geothermal Program (Department of Energy Resources Engineering, Stanford University) is the development of reservoir engineering techniques to allow for the production of the nation's geothermal resources in the most efficient manner possible. The Stanford Geothermal Program has conducted geothermal reservoir engineering research for more than 25 years. Research topics are chosen to provide greatest impact in identifying and overcoming field problems which are either current or imminent. The primary focus in the immediate future will be the investigation of reinjection into vapor-dominated reservoirs such as The Geysers. This investigation will require the study of the effects of adsorption during injection, as well as the examination of the mechanisms of boiling in vapor filled porous rock.  The program also offers graduate study programs leading to MS or PhD degrees in Energy Resources Engineering. The Stanford Geothermal Program is a founding partner of the NGDS.
