The injection-production performance of an enhanced geothermal system considering fracture network complexity and thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling in numerical simulations

Abstract The effect of fracture networks on EGS performance remains worth further investigation to guide the formulation of geothermal extraction strategy. We established models that account for thermo-hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupling and that are based on the framework of discrete fracture netwo...
