Thermal Conductivity of Rocks and Minerals
Christoph Clauser,Ernst Huenges +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, if the hydraulic permeability of crustal material is sufficiently high, convection driven advection of heat can be an equally or even much more efficient transfer mechanism, provided sufficiently strong driving forces are supplied by forced or free convection systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating the crust permeability from fluid-injection-induced seismic emission at the KTB site
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a technique for estimating hydraulic permeability using the spatio-temporal distribution of the fluid-injection-induced seismic emission in the German Continental Deep Drilling Borehole (KTB).
The possible role and contribution of geothermal energy to the mitigation of climate change
Ingvar B. Fridleifsson,Ruggero Bertani,Ernst Huenges,John W. Lund,Arni Ragnarsson,Ladislaus Rybach +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present likely case scenarios for electricity production and direct use of geothermal energy, as well as the mitigation potential of the geothermal resources 2005-2050.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulic fracturing in a sedimentary geothermal reservoir: Results and implications
TL;DR: In this paper, a geothermal research well was used to enhance the inflow performance of a clastic sedimentary reservoir section, and two isolated borehole intervals were created in two isolated Borehole intervals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydraulic fracturing stimulation techniques and formation damage mechanisms—Implications from laboratory testing of tight sandstone-proppant systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on mechanically induced fracture face skin, which may result from stress-induced mechanical interactions between proppants and reservoir rock during production, and demonstrate that even low differential stresses, which are expected under in-situ conditions, may considerably affect the productivity of hydraulic proppant fracturing stimulation campaigns, in particular in unconventional reservoirs where the fracture face is considerably larger compared to conventional hydraulic stimulations.
