Geomechanical performance of a novel L-shaped wellbore design for hot dry rock geothermal reservoirs: insights from fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical modeling

Abstract Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs), developed to extract heat from hot dry rock (HDR) formations, are promising renewable heat resources; however, their long-term performance is governed by coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes. This study introduces a novel L-shaped injection-pro...
