A novel method of acquiring geothermal energy from unconsolidated sandstone reservoir by multi-directional wells deep borehole heat exchanger

The clogging problem during injection seriously limits the development and utilization of geothermal resources in unconsolidated sandstone area. Deep borehole heat exchanger can circumvent the problem of clogging, and however, high drilling and completion costs restrict its application. To reduce th...
