Abstract
This paper introduces a computational model based on the structural and petrophysical characteristics of the high-enthalpy geothermal reservoirs. Conceptual model of the Sabalan geothermal field is provided through integrating the various exploring information including the structural data, geological data, geophysical models, well logs and field evidences. Heat source is properly estimated by implementing the Curie depth map. The finite element method, adapted to the complex geometry of the model, is used to solve the governing equations. All-important physical and structural properties of the reservoir including the anisotropic and heterogonous permeability distribution, fluid flow through the faults and specific boundary conditions are considered. Optimization analysis is conducted to calibrate the model parameters. Simulated thermodynamic properties of the reservoir are compared with the wellbore measured data to validate the results.
