An Analytical Hierarchy-Based Method for Quantifying Hydraulic Fracturing Stimulation to Improve Geothermal Well Productivity

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
Hydraulic fracturing (HF) has been used for years to enhance oil and gas production from conventional and unconventional reservoirs. HF in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) has become increasingly common in recent years.

Techno-Economic feasibility of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) with partially bridging Multi-Stage fractures for district heating applications

open access: yes, 2022
Here, we investigate the techno-economic feasibility of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) for direct heating, using a new horizontal-well with partially-bridging fractures design. To do this, we developed numerical models to evaluate reservoir dynamics
