Abstract
In order to draft an operational strategy for EGS development, an approach, combining well architecture and hydraulic stimulation, while ensuring a lower mechanical risk during the well drilling, is presented. This approach is based on the conceptualisation of faulted/fractured geothermal reservoirs and the use of adapted numerical models.
