The well from the University of Oradea campus is a typical low enthalpy geothermal well, about 3,000 m deep, 80˜85?C wellhead temperature, and multiple feed zones. A 3-D numerical model has been defined and used to simulate the heat transfer and the hydro-thermodynamic processes in the well and in the surrounding rock along the entire well.

The paper presents the model's grid, the thermal and hydrodynamic properties of each block, the natural state simulation, the static and dynamic calibrations, and some preliminary results for artesian discharge.
