Modeling Highly Buoyant Flows in the Castel Giorgio: Torre Alfina Deep Geothermal Reservoir

Figure 12

Comparison between the OpenGeoSys (OGS) and the FEFLOW model results (a), (b), (c), and (d) pressure (CG2 well, see Figure 1 for location), and (e), (f), (g), and (h) temperature (CG14 well, see Figure 1 for location) evolution in time for both production and injection sites. (a), (b), (e), and (f) refer to the 50-year field exploitation and (c), (d), (g), and (h) to the full simulation time (i.e., 10,000 years). The initial 500 years are shown in the full simulation time plots ((c) and (d)) as full recovery is reached.
