Coupled Thermo-Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Modeling of Permeability Evolution in a CO2-Circulated Geothermal Reservoir

The meager availability of water as a heat transfer fluid is sometimes an impediment to enhanced geothermal system (EGS) development in semi-arid regions. One potential solution is in substituting CO2 as the working fluid in EGS. However, complex thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) interactions...
