Pressure transient analysis of geothermal wells: A framework for numerical modelling

Abstract: The need for numerical models for geothermal pressure transient analysis (PTA) is well recognised. Conventional PTA is based on analytical models which usually do not work for geothermal datasets, therefore PTA is under-utilised by the geothermal industry. A framework for numerical modelling is required to promote comparability of results and increase user-friendliness.
