Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS): Hydraulic fracturing in a thermo-poroelastic framework
Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering, 2016Abstract The natural permeability of geothermal reservoirs is typically low and therefore needs to be enhanced to enable efficient use and economic viability. Hydraulic Fracturing (HF) methods, often referred to as hydraulic stimulation, are one of the primary methods used for permeability enhancement.

Stabilization of Forced Heat Convection: Applications to Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS)
Transport in Porous Media, 2016The natural permeability of geothermal reservoirs is low and needs to be enhanced to ensure an efficient use and economic viability. Next to chemical enhancement, the main technique used for that purpose is hydraulic fracturing. Here, hydraulic fracturing is introduced in a thermo-poroelastic framework.
