Flow-through experiments on the interaction of sandstone with Ba-rich fluids at geothermal conditions
Abstract It is commonly known that heat extraction and decompression can lead to mineral precipitation and reservoir clogging in geothermal systems. In the Upper Rhine Graben, the precipitating minerals are mainly barite and calcite. This study focuses on clogging processes due to mineral precipitat...
