Abstract
A closed well loop is provided for a geothermal system. The closed well loop includes a well (single well) that traverses a subterranean formation to extract heat from the subterranean formation. The well includes a section having an inner pipe that is supported inside an outer pipe in a pipe-in-pipe arrangement. The inner pipe has an interior flow channel that defines a first flow path for circulating working fluid, and the annulus between the inner pipe and the outer pipe defines a second flow path for the circulating working fluid. The well can be configured to extract heat from the subterranean formation and transfer heat to the circulating working fluid that flows in the first and second flow paths. The inner pipe can include a thermally-insulative piping system that reduces the amount of heat transferred from the circulating fluid that flows in the first and second flow paths within the well.
