A sustainable approach to deep geothermal energy exploitation: feasibility of clustered U-shaped multi-branch wells

To overcome the limitations of unstable heat extraction power and low efficiency in current deep geothermal energy exploitation technologies, we propose a novel and sustainable approach using clustered U-shaped multi-branch wells (UMW). This method enables efficient heat exchange by circulating work...
