The prediction of reservoir temperature and production behavior is crucial for success of the proposed geothermal doublet. This work presents the results of a study of the important geothermal and geohydrological issues for the doublet design. In the first phase of the study, the influences of the three-dimensional (3D) structures of anticlines and synclines on the temperature field were examined. A comprehensive petrophysical investigation was performed to build a large scale 3D-model of the reservoir. Several bottomhole temperatures (BHTs), as well as petrophysical logs were used to calibrate the model using thermal conductivity measurements on 50 samples from boreholes in different lithological units in the study area. Profiles and cross sections extracted from the calculated temperature field were used to study the temperature in the surrounding areas of the planned doublet. In the second phase of the project, a detailed 3D numerical reservoir model was set up, with the aim of predicting the evolution of the producer and injector temperatures, and the extent of the cooled area around the injector. The temperature model from the first phase provided the boundary conditions for the reservoir model. Hydraulic parameters for the target horizons, such as porosity and permeability, were taken from data available from the nearby exploration wells. The simulation results are encouraging as no significant thermal breakthrough is predicted. For the originally planned location of the producer, the extracted water temperature is predicted to be around 79 °C, with an almost negligible cooling in the first 50 years of production. When the producer is located shallower parts of the reservoir, the yield water temperatures is lower, starting at ≈76 °C and decreasing to ≈74 °C after 50 years of operation. This comparatively larger decrease in temperature with time is caused by the structural feature of the reservoir, namely a higher dip causes the cooler water to easily move downward. In view of the poor reservoir data, the reservoir simulation model is constructed to allow iterative updates using data assimilation during planned drilling, testing, and production phases. Measurements during an 8 h pumping test carried out in late 2010 suggest that a flow rate of 150 m3 h-1 is achievable. Fluid temperatures of 76.5 °C were measured, which is very close to the predicted value.}, language = {en} } @article{KuertenMottaghyZiegler2013, author = {K{\"u}rten, Sylvia and Mottaghy, Darius and Ziegler, Martin}, title = {W{\"a}rme{\"u}bergangswiderstand bei fl{\"a}chigen thermo-aktiven Bauteilen am Beispiel thermo-aktiver Abdichtungselemente}, series = {Bautechnik}, volume = {90}, journal = {Bautechnik}, number = {7}, publisher = {Ernst \& Sohn}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1437-0999}, doi = {10.1002/bate.201300035}, pages = {387 -- 394}, year = {2013}, language = {de} } @article{MottaghySchwambornRath2013, author = {Mottaghy, Darius and Schwamborn, G. and Rath, V.}, title = {Past climate changes and permafrost depth at the Lake El'gygytgyn site: implications from data and thermal modeling}, series = {Climate of the Past}, volume = {9}, journal = {Climate of the Past}, number = {1}, publisher = {Copernicus}, address = {Katlenburg-Lindau}, issn = {1814-9332}, doi = {10.5194/cp-9-119-2013}, pages = {119 -- 133}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{VogtIwanowskiStrahserMarquartetal.2013, author = {Vogt, Christian and Iwanowski-Strahser, Katha and Marquart, Gabriele and Arnold, Juliane and Mottaghy, Darius and Pechnig, Renate and Gnjezda, Daniel and Clauser, Christoph}, title = {Modeling contribution to risk assessment of thermal production power for geothermal reservoirs}, series = {Renewable Energy}, volume = {53}, journal = {Renewable Energy}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0960-1481}, doi = {10.1016/j.renene.2012.11.026}, pages = {230 -- 241}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZieglerSchuellerMottaghy2013, author = {Ziegler, M. and Sch{\"u}ller, R. and Mottaghy, Darius}, title = {Numerical simulation of energy consumption of artificial ground freezing applications subject to water seepage}, series = {Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Paris 2013}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Paris 2013}, pages = {2985 -- 2988}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{KuertenMottaghyZiegler2014, author = {K{\"u}rten, Sylvia and Mottaghy, Darius and Ziegler, Martin}, title = {Planung, Auslegung und Dimensionierung von thermo-aktiven Bauteilen am Beispiel thermo-aktiver Abdichtungselemente}, series = {Geothermie, Bohr- und Brunnentechnik}, journal = {Geothermie, Bohr- und Brunnentechnik}, publisher = {Ernst \& Sohn}, address = {Berlin}, pages = {18 -- 20}, year = {2014}, language = {de} } @article{RathMottaghy2014, author = {Rath, V. and Mottaghy, Darius}, title = {Klimainformation aus dem Untergrund?}, series = {Geographische Rundschau}, volume = {66}, journal = {Geographische Rundschau}, number = {7-8}, publisher = {Westermann}, address = {Braunschweig}, issn = {0016-7460}, pages = {30 -- 36}, year = {2014}, language = {de} } @article{VogtMottaghyRathetal.2014, author = {Vogt, C. and Mottaghy, Darius and Rath, V. and Marquart, G. and Dijkshoorn, L. and Wolf, A. and Clauser, C.}, title = {Vertical variation in heat flow on the Kola Peninsula: palaeoclimate or fluid flow?}, series = {Geophysical Journal International}, volume = {199}, journal = {Geophysical Journal International}, number = {2}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1365-246X}, doi = {10.1093/gji/ggu282}, pages = {829 -- 843}, year = {2014}, abstract = {Following earlier studies, we present forward and inverse simulations of heat and fluid transport of the upper crust using a local 3-D model of the Kola area.
