Inverse Modeling of Fractured Geothermal Reservoirs Using Pressure Interference Data
Numerically inverting simultaneous pressureinterference measurements from multiple observation wells can help to establish the large-scale spatial distributions of permeability and storage within a geothermal reservoir. For realistic results, it is important to incorporate double-porosity (MINC) descriptions into the modeling process to properly reproduce the short-term pressure-transient respo...
متن کاملHeterogeneity Preserving Upscaling for Heat Transport in Fractured Geothermal Reservoirs
In simulation of fluid injection in fractured geothermal reservoirs, the characteristics of the physical processes are severely affected by the local occurence of connected fractures. To resolve these structurally dominated processes, there is a need to develop discretization strategies that also limit computational effort. In this paper we present an upscaling methodology for geothermal heat t...
متن کاملDiscrete Fracture Modeling of Hydraulic Stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems
Hydraulic stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems is performed by injecting water at high pressure into low permeability, typically crystalline, rock. In most cases, the elevated pore pressure induces slip on preexisting fractures, resulting in an increase in permeability. This process involves interacting hydraulic, thermal, mechanical, and thermoelastic processes. It is complicated by the ...
متن کاملOptimization of Reinjection in Geothermal Reservoirs
Re-injection of produced geothermal water for pressure support is a common practice in geothermal field management. The location selection of the reinjection well and the rate of injection is a challenging subject for geothermal reservoir engineers. The goal of optimization for this type of problem is usually to find one or more combinations of geothermal re-injection well locations that will m...
متن کاملFully Coupled Geomechanics and Discrete Flow Network Modeling of Hydraulic Fracturing for Geothermal Applications
The primary objective of our current research is to develop a computational test bed for evaluating borehole techniques to enhance fluid flow and heat transfer in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Simulating processes resulting in hydraulic fracturing and/or the remobilization of existing fractures, especially the interaction between propagating fractures and existing fractures, represents a c...
