| Abstract | Three dimensional injection-production reservoir flows of CO2 Engineered Geothermal System (EGS) were coupled with wellbore flow simulations. The 3D reservoir simulations used a modified ECO2N module of TOUGH2 to analyze CO2 mass and heat flow rates while the wellbore flow simulations determined the injection and production parameters at the wellhead (i.e. pressure and temperature). The effects of different operational and reservoir parameters were also investigated. |
