A Reactive Tracer Analysis Method for Monitoring Thermal Drawdown in Geothermal Reservoirs
Tracers provide an important means of interrogating the subsurface to provide critical information about hydraulic characteristics of the reservoir. In a geothermal reservoir, reactive tracers may add information about the thermal state of the reservoir. Tracer test analysis methods vary, but generally involve curve fitting to a simple model of the system or a moment analysis approach. The Idah...
متن کاملAnalysis of fluid injection-induced fault reactivation and seismic slip in geothermal reservoirs
We explore the issue of fault reactivation induced in enhanced geothermal systems by fluid injection. Specifically, we investigate the role of late stage activation by thermal drawdown. A Thermal-Hydrological-Mechanical simulator incorporating a ubiquitous joint constitutive model is used to systematically simulate the seismic slip of an embedded critically stressed strike-slip fault. We examin...
متن کاملExceptional Enhanced Geothermal Systems from Oil and Gas Reservoirs
A lot of oil and gas reservoirs have been or will be abandoned in petroleum industry. In this study, we pointed out that these oil and gas reservoirs might be transferred into exceptional enhanced geothermal reservoirs with very high temperatures by oxidizing the residual oil with injected air. A concept to generate power from these exceptional enhanced geothermal reservoirs by using geothermal...
متن کاملCoupled Geomechanical and Reactive Geochemical Simulations for Fluid and Heat Flow in Enhanced Geothermal Reservoirs
A major concern in development of fractured reservoirs in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) is to achieve and maintain adequate injectivity, while avoiding short-circuiting flow paths. The injection performance and flow paths are dominated by fracture rock permeability. The evolution of fracture permeability can be made by change in temperature or pressure induced rock deformation and geochemic...
متن کاملSimulation of Radon Transport in Geothermal Reservoirs
The radon simulation model has been used to simulate radon concentration response during production drawdown and two flowrate transient tests in vapor-dominated systems. Comparison of model simulation with experimental data from field tests provides insight in the analysis of reservoir phenomena such as propagation of boiling fronts, and estimates of reservoir properties of porosity and permeab...
