Impact of microannulus on the efficiency of heat transfer in the bottomhole

To ensure feasible power generation from closed-loop geothermal wells, deeper wells are required to reach higher temperature zones. However, weak bonding between cement and casing or cement and formation may allow formation of a small gap (known as microannulus), which could have a negative effect o...
