The impact of re-injection of geothermal fluids on fluid flow properties and mechanical stability in fractured/faulted limestone reservoirs. Ghent University
One of the emerging techniques for sustainable energy production is the use of geothermal energy: heat is extracted from the deep subsurface, used for heating or the production of electricity, and then re-injected in the reservoir. The goal is set out to increase the worldwide energy production from geothermal energy from 84.8 TWh in 2017 to 1400 TWh/year in 2050. Therefore, deep and typically less permeable reservoirs are more frequently ...
