Heat extraction from the geothermal reservoir is sensitive to reservoir properties, operating
parameters and coupling among various processes. Due to complex reservoir structure …

One salient feature of the heat pipe system is its superior heat transfer efficiency, which
allows the transfer of significant amount of heat at near-zero temperature difference. In …

A novel enhanced geothermal system with multilateral wells is proposed to extract heat from
hot dry rock in this study. For this EGS, one main wellbore is drilled to hot dry rock. Several …

In the attempt to reduce the CO 2 emissions to the atmosphere and therefore the
dependence on fossil fuels, geothermal energy has started to receive increased scientific …

Our previous study (Song et al., 2018) proposed a novel enhanced geothermal system
(EGS) with multilateral wells and demonstrated that it had greater heat extraction …

Abstract Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), engineered deep rock heat exchangers, are
often touted for their massive untapped renewable energy potential. However, numerous …

With the uncertain fractures involved in the water-rock interaction in the enhanced
geothermal system (EGS) taken into account, numerical simulation of heat extraction is …

Existing hot dry rock geothermal projects are commonly confronted with some technical
issues, such as corrosion and scaling, and water loss. To resolve these issues, the present …

Simulation of thermal hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupling process plays an important role
in exploiting the hot dry rock (HDR) resources by enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). At …

This study aims at understanding the mechanism of heat extraction from a geothermal
reservoir characterized by rough-walled fracture networks. A unified pipe-network method …
