This paper presents a three-dimensional (3D) numerical model of multifracture hot dry rock
(HDR) systems using coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) modelling processes …

Abstract The Fenton Hill enhanced geothermal system (EGS) test site was the first of its kind,
and interpretations of field observations from the project have influenced the past four …

Geothermal resources have important value for its development and utilization. In this work,
a thermal–hydraulic–mechanical (THM) coupled numerical model is developed to simulate …

With sufficient data and the appropriate modelling tools, it is possible to replicate the real-life
behaviour of geothermal systems. Modelling tools could guide geologists, engineers and …

We explore an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) reservoir with horizontal wells
connecting multiple hydraulic fractures. In particular we follow the implications of complex …

English Performance and safety assessment of the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical
process in deep geo-energy engineering is challenging, because of the complex …

Geologic storage of carbon dioxide can efficiently contribute to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions to the atmosphere. Two major hazards of this technology are leakage towards the …

A diverse suite of numerical simulators is currently being applied to predict or understand
the performance of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). To build confidence and identify …

The performance and safety assessment of the coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical process
in deep geo-energy engineering are challenging, because of the complex mechanical …

Using double-torsion load-relaxation tests, we evaluated the effect of chemical environment
on fracture toughness and subcritical fracture growth index (SCI) in silicified fault rocks …
