A Semi-Analytical Method for Three-Dimensional Heat Transfer in Multi-Fracture Enhanced Geothermal Systems

Multiple fractures have been proposed for improving the heat extracted from an enhanced geothermal system (EGS). For calculating the production temperature of a multi-fracture EGS, previous analytical or semi-analytical methods have all been based on an infinite scale of fractures and one-dimensiona...
