✦ Synopsis

A number of in-situ experiments, aimed at investigating geological, hydrogeological and hydromechanical aspects of HDR reservoir development were carried out at the FjaÈ llbacka test site in western Sweden between 1984 and 1995. By means of hydraulic stimulations, a roughly horizontal reservoir that connects two 500 m deep wells was created. An open-loop circulation test performed between the wells gave a ¯ow recovery of about 50%. All major ¯uid injections have resulted in microseismic activity due to shear failures. A cross-hole seismic survey of the in¯ated reservoir provided some additional evidence of the distribution of hydraulically active fractures.

Eective stress is the primary control on permeability and thus on ¯ow and water loss for two-well hot dry rock systems involving injection and production that have been tested to date. Theoretical relations are derived for the ¯ow between an injector and producer, including the dependence of permeab
