The number of production wells affects the heat extraction performance of an enhanced geothermal system: insights from engineering-scale 3D THM coupling numerical simulations

Enhanced geothermal systems (EGSs) are expected to be one of the most promising methods of supplying energy to meet the world’s increasing energy demand. However, little attention has been paid to the influence of the number of production wells on the heat extraction performance of an EGS. A series...
