Lifetime Optimization of Low Enthalpy Geothermal Doublets

Optimisation of heat recovery from low-enthalpy aquifers with geological uncertainty using surrogate response surfaces and simple search algorithms

“…In fact, in the review of Pandey et al [3] on the geothermal reservoir modeling, there is no mention of optimisation of doublet systems. There are only few publications that studied doublet spacing optimization [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. An early work by Sauty et al [4], focused on lifetime optimization of doublets for the Parisian Basin Dogger by optimizing well spacing.…”

An early work by Sauty et al [4], focused on lifetime optimization of doublets for the Parisian Basin Dogger by optimizing well spacing. Tselepidou and Katsifarakis [5] examined optimization of low enthalpy geothermal aquifer by accounting for the costs of annual pumping and amortization of the pipe network carrying the hot water from the wells to a water tank.…”
