A brief review is presented of modelling and simulation of HDR geothermal reservoirs both for hydraulic fracturing/stimulation to create arti®cial/engineered geothermal reservoirs and for long-term heat extraction operations. Firstly, modelling of the governing factors is surveyed and coupling among mechanical, thermal, hydraulic and chemical eects is discussed. Next the structure and modelling of reservoirs are discussed. Finally, the features of a variety of simulation codes are summarized.

A three-dimensional (3-D) water/rock chemical interaction model has been developed to examine the eect of water/rock chemical interaction (WRCI) on the long-term performance of hot dry rock and hot wet rock (HDR/HWR) reservoirs. The model, which integrates many ®eld observations and thus generates a
