Pressure is the dominant effect of fluid injection for stimulation irrespective of whether the water is hot or cold. Cold water will nonetheless be injected to transfer thermal energy. Initially, the cold water might also help to dilate fractures due to cooling induced contraction.
Alright students, geothermal Engineering guy here...don't Bite is hard on this hook! Geothermal systems only Work effectively in certain Geographic temperate zones...better do your research before you get Zapped by the power company in winter!
Yo! I don’t have a background in any of this but I want to get involved. I really like this idea.
is that possible to enhance permeability by injecting hot water or delta T is 0? we just increasing pressure

We should be able to power the entire west coat with Geothermal Energy.
The hope is to develop technologies to take it globally
