Discrete 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 کاملWettability Determination of Geothermal Systems
A method has been developed to infer the wettability of steam-water-rock systems based on the relationship between permeability and capillary pressure by Purcell. The Purcell model was extended to two-phase flow to verify whether the wettability is a function of water saturation. The results calculated using the experimental data showed that the wettability index in the drainage process was gre...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation to Study Feasibility of Using Co2 as a Stimulation Agent for Enhanced Geothermal Systems
A major concern in the development of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) is achieving and maintaining adequate injectivity, while avoiding the development of preferential short-circuiting flow paths such as those caused by thermally-induced stress cracking. Past researches have tended to focus primarily on thermal and hydraulic stimulation. Recent studies suggest that chemical stimulation may im...
متن کاملTime-dependent Seismic Tomography of Geothermal Systems
Temporal changes in seismic wave speeds in the Earth’s crust have been measured at several geothermal areas, notably The Geysers in California, in studies that used three-dimensional seismic tomography. These studies used conventional tomography methods to invert seismic-wave arrival time data sets for different epochs independently and assumed that any differences in the derived structures ref...
متن کاملShort-Time modelling of geothermal systems
Ground-Coupled Heat Pumps (GCHP) are among the most efficient systems to heat and cool buildings. The high initial cost of these systems has hindered their growth in particular for residential applications. Better design methods are welcome to try to optimize the size and then the initial cost of these systems. In the field of ground heat exchanger design, the short-time behavior, which was bef...
