Abstract

Fluid flow in most of geothermal reservoirs is dominated by fractures and their distribution. In this study, the following process of cold water injection into a fractured geothermal reservoir is considered: the cold water from a injection well advances along the fractures and gradually extract heat from the adjacent rock matrix, and eventually arrives at a production well. Both analytical and finite element based numerical models are developed and applied to investigate the temperature and/or pressure evolution in the above process, and compared with each other.
