Abstract
Methods are provided for extracting thermal energy from a geothermal reservoir having at least one feature extending therethrough, which involve drilling or accessing a production well that intersects the at least one feature, wherein the at least one feature provides a flow path of pressurized geothermal fluid into the production well. Well log data can be analyzed to determine position of the at least one feature in the production well. One or more interventions, or combinations of interventions, can be performed to open the feature or otherwise enhance the flow rate of pressurized geothermal fluid carried by the feature into the production well. The intervention(s) can be performed on multiple features that connect to the production well. The method can also be applied to multiple production wells.
