Reservoir lifetime and heat recovery factor in geothermal aquifers used for urban heating. Gringarten, A. C. Pure and Applied Geophysics PAGEOPH, 117(1-2):297–308, 1978. Publisher: Birkhäuser-Verlag
doi  abstract   bibtex   
Simple models are discussed to evaluate reservoir lifetime and heat recovery factor in geothermal aquifers used for urban heating. By comparing various single well and doublet production schemes, it is shown that reinjection of heat depleted water greatly enhances heat recovery and reservoir lifetime, and can be optimized for maximum heat production. It is concluded that geothermal aquifer production should be unitized, as is already done in oil and gas reservoirs. © 1978 Birkhäuser Verlag.
