Abstract: A method for collecting a heated fluid from a fractured subterranean formation can include removing a fluid having a liquid phase from the fractured subterranean formation through a wellbore that is in fluidic communication with the fractured subterranean formation. The method can also include collecting from the wellbore the heated fluid having a vapor phase that is expelled from a low permeability rock matrix of the fractured subterranean formation. The method can also optionally include injecting an injection fluid having the liquid phase into the low permeability rock matrix of the fractured subterranean formation through the wellbore when a parameter falls outside a range of acceptable values.
