Abstract
Systems and techniques may be used to increase recovery of a geothermal energy resource. An example technique includes selecting a first borehole that extends from a surface of the earth into a first location in a geothermal reservoir, conditioning the first borehole by pumping a fluid into or out of the first borehole at a predetermined operating condition to change a property of the geothermal reservoir, and selecting a second borehole that extends from the surface of the earth into a second location in the geothermal reservoir. The example technique may include enhancing permeability of the geothermal reservoir by using a reservoir stimulation technique on the second borehole, wherein a property of a stimulated reservoir volume is controlled by the property of the geothermal reservoir that was changed by conditioning the first borehole.
