Cooling-induced permeability enhancement for networks of microfractures in superhot geothermal environments

Cooling-induced permeability enhancement for networks of microfractures in superhot geothermal environments

Abstract Recent researches have proposed the use of enhanced geothermal system reservoirs consisting of dense networks of microfractures, created by hydraulic and/or thermal fracturing in superhot/supercritical geothermal environments, because of their suitability for thermal energy harvesting. Duri...
