Abstract: A renewable energetic resource, clean and non-polluting, is represented by deep geothermal energy. Given that in some European countries the use of hydraulic fracturing was banned, a solution for geothermal energy extraction is the recirculation of the water in the wellbore. This paper presents a simulation method that allows the estimation of the thermal power that can be extracted from a deep well with horizontal drain, using the recirculation method.
