The evolution of fractures in reservoirs determines the efficacy of an enhanced geothermal system (EGS). Monitoring changes in fracture network characteristics aid assessment of reservoir performance. The real-time EGS assessments provide valuable information to optimize stimulation schemes and maximize heat production.. Our AI-based system would characterize differences in various aspects of geology/reservoir, regulation/permitting, and available data between the old and new fields. The value of this project includes:

• Monitoring the evolution of fractures under different operational conditions

• Assessing, improving, and predicting EGS performance from prior learning

• Developing a site specific EGS design from knowledge of natural fractures in heat production
