Development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in Northern Alberta
, 2015 In the province of Alberta a huge amount of energy is needed for diverse applications. Specifically, the demand for heat is limited to a few locations such as the oil sands operation regions and metropolitan areas. Oil sands processing facilities near Fort McMurray and direct heat provision for different applications in the City of Edmonton are two of ...

Excavation based enhanced geothermal system (EGS-E): introduction to a new concept
Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources, 2019 The current technology for enhanced geothermal system (EGS) typically involves drilling of deep injection and production wells to inject cold water into the injection well to the EGS reservoir depth, to extract heat by permeating through the fractured hot rock masses, collected by the production well and return to the surface as heated water.

A comparison study of reservoir boundary conditions of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)
Energy Procedia, 2019 Abstract The effects of boundary conditions on numerical reservoir prediction of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are crucial to EGS modeling while have drawn little attention in previous studies. Based on geothermal characteristics of Gonghe Basin, China, we established a thermal-hydraulic-mechanical coupled model to compare the performance of ...
