Abstract
A closed well loop is provided for a geothermal system. The closed well loop includes at least one well having at least one lateral section the traverses a subterranean formation. Fluid flow in the at least one lateral section extracts thermal energy from the subterranean formation. The fluid flow in the at least one lateral section is driven by convection where hotter fluid convects upward along the top part of the lateral section and colder fluid convects downward along the bottom part of the lateral section.
