Impact of well separation distance, along two arbitrary directions, on thermal performance. Diagrams in the left column show the thermal exchange map after 1 year of operation with well separation distance of 300 m in both cases. Simulated thermal drawdown plots in the second column depict the production temperature evolution for 10 years, for cases of 300 m, 400 m, and 500 m distances between the injection and production wells
