Abstract
The modeling of a triplet well system operation under supercritical initial conditions was performed. The distributions of temperature, pressure, and water saturation and their respective changes during exploitation were explored. The variation of heat production, bottom-hole temperature, bottom-hole pressure, and water saturation were investigated as a function of the well discharge and the mutual geometrical location of wells.
