Investigation on heat extraction characteristics in randomly fractured geothermal reservoirs considering thermo‐poroelastic effects

Abstract A fully coupled thermal‐hydraulic‐mechanical (THM) model was developed to investigate the underlying response mechanisms during heat extraction in fractured geothermal reservoirs. The random fracture network in the stimulated zone was reproduced based on the fractal theory. The coupled mode...
