Modeling study of the thermal-hydraulic-mechanical coupling process for EGS based on the framework of EDFM and XFEM

Tingyu Li et al.

Summary: In this paper, a combination of embedded discrete fracture model (EDFM) and extended finite element method (XFEM) is proposed to address the challenge of dense grids in thermal hydraulic-mechanical (THM) coupling simulations. By significantly reducing the grid number, the computational efficiency is improved while maintaining relatively high accuracy. The proposed model is validated by comparing it with analytical solutions and COMSOL, and is applied to analyze pressure, temperature, and displacement evolutions in hypothetical EGS scenarios.

Study on heat extraction considering the number and orientation of multilateral wells in a complex fractured geothermal reservoir

Xuefeng Gao et al.

Summary: Understanding flow and heat transfer in fractured geothermal reservoirs is crucial for the future development of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). A thermal-hydraulic coupled model was proposed to evaluate heat extraction performance of multilateral wells in fractured reservoirs. Results showed minimal impact of increasing number of branch wells on production temperature but significant impact on well pressure.

Impacts of fracture network geometries on numerical simulation and performance prediction of enhanced geothermal systems

Gang Liu et al.

Summary: The distribution of fractures has a significant impact on the heat extraction performance of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS). Denser fracture networks can improve heat extraction efficiency, while non-uniform distribution of primary fractures may have negative effects on system performance.
