Modeling of coupled wellbore-reservoir flow in steam-like supercritical geothermal systems

The capabilities to efficiently model the transport of mass and heat in geothermal reservoirs at supercritical conditions are necessary to support the efforts to explore and utilize supercritical hydrothermal systems, as well as to extend the utilization of existing geothermal fields at greater depths, where supercritical temperatures might be encountered. Similar capabilities are needed to model the flow in wells producing supercritical fluids,...
