We constructed a coupled finite-difference wellbore and reservoir model representing the fluid mechanics, fluid phase behavior and heat transfer. We investigated the energy output of the system and the feasibility of sustainable deployment.

2024年6月1日 · To mitigate these challenges, this paper introduces a single-well EGS (SEGS). By performing minor-scale fracturing of the rock mass at the bottom of the single-well system, the system can be changed from a closed system to an open system. SEGS also enables the effective utilization of dry or low-water hydrothermal systems.

INTRODUCTION Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are an attractive prospect for the development of base-load, carbon-free electricity generation.

This paper describes the investigation of a single-well enhanced geothermal system comprised of a downhole thermosiphon and a novel completion design using a downhole heat exchanger. The thermosiphon is a device that takes advantage of the gravity head difference between liquid flowing down the annulus and vapor flowing up the tubing.

In this work, a numerical model was built to investigate the thermal output capacity of several single-well EGS configurations. The parameters that affect the output were also studied. A...

The applicability of a single wellbore configuration depends on its thermal output capacity. In this work, a numerical model was built to investigate the thermal output capacity of several single-well EGS configurations. The parameters that affect the output were also studied.

In this work, a single-well EGS comprised of a downhole thermosiphon and a novel completion design was investigated. The thermosiphon is a downhole heat exchanger that takes advantage of the gravity head difference of liquid at different temperatures.
