Understanding hydrothermal processes during production is critical to optimal geothermal
reservoir management and sustainable utilization. This study addresses the hydrothermal …

In-situ stresses have significant impact, either positive or negative, on the short and long
term behaviour of fractured reservoirs. The knowledge of the stress conditions are therefore …

While research focuses mainly on the intensively used shallower aquifers, only a little
research has addressed groundwater movement in deeper aquifers. This is mainly because …

Significant pressure and temperature changes can occur within geothermal reservoirs
caused by injection and production of fluid which can affect transport properties of the rocks …

A series of stimulation experiments were carried out at the geothermal research well in Groß
Schönebeck (EGrSk 3/90) located in the northeastem part of Germany. The intended …

Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are engineered reservoirs developed to extract heat
from low permeability and low porosity geological formations. Cyclic hydraulic stimulation …

Abstract The Groß Schönebeck research platform represents a case study for the reuse of
the abandoned hydrocarbon well E GrSk 3/90. A detailed description of well selection …

The deep thermal field in sedimentary basins can be affected by convection, conduction or
both resulting from the structural inventory, physical properties of geological layers and …

In many cases, drilling operations will not open up a geothermal reservoir under such
conditions that an extraction of geothermal energy is economically viable without any further …

The main objective of the study was to develop and calibrate the thermal model of the Groß
Schönebeck test site in Northeastern Germany, and to perform sensitivity analyses based on …
