From: Optimizing scenarios of a deep geothermal aquifer storage in the southern Upper Rhine Graben
Pressure buildup and drawdown at the ‘hot’ and ‘cold side’ of ATES due to injection and production with different rates (10 L s−1, 40 L s−1, 100 L s−1) in dependence of filter section length of the horizontal wells at the end of the first storage cycle (A) and at the end of the first heating cycle (B). The calculations were performed for 100 m and 400 m distance between the horizontal wells. The differential pressure marked ‘orange’ refers to gentle operation conditions
