Influence of extreme fracture flow channels on the thermal performance of open-loop geothermal systems at commercial scale
Abstract Adequate stewardship of geothermal resources requires accurate forecasting of long-term thermal performance. In enhanced geothermal systems and other fracture-dominated reservoirs, predictive models commonly assume constant-aperture fractures, although spatial variations in aperture can gre...
