Numerical Simulation and Economic Evaluation of Wellbore Self-Circulation for Heat Extraction Using Cluster Horizontal Wells

The heat extraction capacity of the self-circulation wellbore is usually small because of the limited heat exchange area. In the paper, the cluster horizontal well group technology was proposed to enhance the heat extraction capacity and decrease the unit cost. Based on the mathematical model of hea...
