Numerical simulation on heat extraction performance of enhanced geothermal system under the different well layout

China has hundreds of thousands of oil and water wells, about 30% of which have been abandoned currently. If we can convert abandoned wells into geothermal wells, it will save lots of money and reduce drilling and completion time greatly. In this paper, six enhanced geothermal system (EGS) well layo...
