In this discussion, only the reservoir engineering input is considered.
However, the uncertainties in geothermal reservoir model inputs and resource assessment outputs are not fully captured in these evaluations.
The techno-economic model utilizes reservoir simulation inputs and results such as production rate and composition, injection fluid rate and composition, and bottomhole pressure to provide detailed costs and revenue of injection, production, and CO2 recycling, according to defined scenarios.
We can observe the decrease of the concentration from the input reservoir (in yellow), to the output reservoir (in light blue).
Input reservoir parameters are the average values from this actual tight oil reservoir (Table 6).
These simulators need a wealth of reservoir data as input to provide users with useable results.
By definition, an emulator uses reservoir properties as input parameters in a statistical model constructed from simulator outputs.
Finally, reliability of proposed FMB equation is successfully verified against the numerical simulation with excellent agreements compared with the input reservoir properties.
The default parameters simulate an experiment along the Z axis with a concentration in the input reservoir at initial time of 1711 mol m−3 (Cin (t) = 1711 mol m−3) and the concentration in the output reservoir at initial time being null (Cout (t) = 0).
A future planning horizon (for year 2021) is selected for this study, and the future system comprises 3 reservoir dams, 7 input stream flows, 9 irrigation networks, 3 public demand channels, 2 minimum flow channels, 9 junction nodes and some general channels.
