Energy capacity of a geothermal reservoir: The effect of conductive heat transfer recharge on reservoir lifetime at low temperature conduction regimes

The effect of conductive heat transfer recharge originating from the surrounding conduction dominated geothermal system on the geothermal reservoir lifetime has been reviewed during its development, by studying the effect of multiple reservoir and production parameters. A two dimensional (2D) finite volume implicit coupling strategy, using a...

A benchmark study for dynamic multilevel multiscale (ADM) simulation of heat production from low-enthalpy fractured geothermal reservoirs

Accurate and efficient predictions on the behavior of fluid flow and heat transport are required in the development of low-enthalpy geothermal reservoirs in fractured formations. Key challenges include the demand for high-resolution computational grids, the non-linear behavior of the system due to strong mass-heat coupling and the presence of...
