摘要： The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of enhanced geothermal energy production that transports fluid from existing underground fluid reservoirs to a deeper, higher temperature radiator zone for fluid heating before recovery at the surface. One system includes at least one radiator injection well extending from a subterranean water reservoir of a formation to a radiator zone of the formation that is located at a greater depth than the subterranean water reservoir. The radiator injection well is configured to fluidically couple the subterranean water reservoir with the radiator zone to transfer fluid contained in the subterranean water reservoir to the radiator zone for heating. At least one recovery well extends from the surface to the radiator zone and is configured to recover fluid from the radiator zone that was transferred from the subterranean water reservoir to the radiator zone. The recovered fluid is then used at the surface to generate electricity.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of geothermal energy production using a dual thermosiphon heat exchange system. In one system two working fluids in which a thermosiphon flow is induced to recover thermal energy from depth. The system has a subterranean heat exchanger that is formed into an underground formation by drilling, and which is flooded with a first working fluid. Heat from the formation is transferred into the first working fluid. A recovery loop extends from the earth's surface and into the heat exchanger and carries a second working fluid. Heat from the formation is transferred into the first working fluid, and heat from the first working fluid is transferred into the second working fluid. The heat flow from the formation into the first working fluid and from the first working fluid into the second working fluid causes a thermosiphon flow in the working fluids.
