Abstract In this study, modified versions of the hypothetical geothermal systems constructed by Sigurdsson et al., 1995, are used to examine the effects of injection on production for various scenarios. The main differences between the models presented here and the original Sigurdsson models are the recharge conditions. In some of our models, we allow for lateral recharge by adding extra blocks on the sides of the model, and we allow for deep recharge by adding extra blocks at the base of the model. The results obtained from the simulations show that the effects of injection depend on the recharge conditions and reservoir parameters.
