About

We develop an open-source software package for optimization of geothermal energy production from hot fracture-controlled reservoirs. The optimization is based on

  • fully automated testing of various geothermal well positions,

  • simulating the corresponding groundwater flow and heat transport numerically in 3D.

Our software package also includes tools for

  • analysis of discrete fracture networks,

  • evaluation of various reservoir characteristics.

We are looking for opportunities to apply our package to real-world problems!
