Abstract

Wellhead temperature and pressure are critical parameters of a geothermal well. Their prediction requires knowledge of the geofluid properties and detailed thermal modelling of the well and formation. High salinity and gas content complicate the task. This article presents a comprehensive thermal–hydraulic wellbore model, which is parameterized and validated with data from the Gross Schoenebeck site, and used for a long-term prognosis. Geofluid properties are calculated based on the specific gas and salt contents by determining the vapour–liquid equilibrium.
