Modeling, design, and life performance prediction for energy production from geothermal reservoirs. Quarterly report, January--March 1998
The objective of this project is to maintain and transfer existing Hot Dry Rock two-dimensional fractured reservoir analysis capability to the geothermal industry and to extend the analysis concepts to three dimensions. The project start date was May 22, 1997 and it runs through May 21, 1998. This is the quarterly progress report for January through March of 1998. In this quarter, the primary focus has been on development of the Geocrack3D model, presenting initial results to the industry, and maintenance of Geocrack2D. It is important to emphasize that the modeling is complementary to current industry modeling, in that they focus on the user interface, flow in fractured rock, and the coupled effect of thermal cooling changing fracture aperture.
