Well-Placement Optimization in an Enhanced Geothermal System Based on the Fracture Continuum Method and 0-1 Programming

Well-Placement Optimization in an Enhanced Geothermal System Based on the Fracture Continuum Method and 0-1 Programming

The well-placement of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is significant to its performance and economic viability because of the fractures in the thermal reservoir and the expensive cost of well-drilling. In this work, a numerical simulation and genetic algorithm are combined to search for the opti...
