Breakthrough time of a geothermal reservoir: Estimating the impact of well spacing, reservoir and operational inputs on the breakthrough time of a geothermal doublet

This research identifies and provides a relative ranking of the parameters that control the thermal breakthrough time of a geothermal doublet. The ranking is based on simulations modelled by a three-dimensional model build in COMSOL Multiphysics with a simulation duration of 50 years. The model is a nonisothermal, isotropic, cuboid consisting of...
