Preliminary assessment of a geothermal energy reservoir formed by hydraulic fracturing

Preliminary assessment of a geothermal energy reservoir formed by hydraulic fracturing [electronic resource]

Two, 3-km-deep boreholes have been drilled into hot (approximately 200°C) graphite in northern New Mexico in order to extract geothermal energy from hot dry rock. Both boreholes were hydraulically fractured to establish a flow connection. Presently this connection has a large flow impedance which ma...
