Abstract
Following the work of Pruess (2008) on the production behaviour of CO2 as a working fluid in EGS, a three dimensional (3D) reservoir sensitivity analysis of CO2 mass flow and heat extraction rates on injection temperature, rock permeability, rock porosity and reservoir temperature were performed. The 3D reservoir simulations were performed using the TOUGH2 modelling code with the modified ECO2N module.
