The increasing need for energy, and electricity in particular, together with specific threats linked with the use of fossil fuels and nuclear power and the need to reduce CO2 emissions leads us to look for new energy resources. Among them, geothermics proves to be efficient and clean in that it converts the energy of the earth into heating (domestic, industrial or agricultural purposes) or electricity (Lund, 2007). Numerous geothermal programs are producing energy at present and some of them have been performing for several decades in the USA (Sanyal and Enedy, 2011), Iceland and Italy for example (Minissale, 1991; Romagnoli et al., 2010). From statistics presented in World Geothermal Congress 2010, the installed capacity of geothermal power generation reaches 10,715 MW in the world. It increased by nearly 20% in 5 years. Its average annual growth rate is around 4%. USA, Indonesia and Iceland increased by 530MW, 400MW and 373MW respectively. Many countries all around the world develop geothermal exploitation programs. As a consequence, scientists from the whole world meet each year at the Annual Stanford Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering to discuss new advances in geothermics.
