[0029] Specifically, the first open casing is connected to the second open casing by a tail pipe suspension method through a hanger.

[0030] Furthermore, it may also include a three-open casing, wherein the first-open casing, the second-open casing and the third-open casing are connected in sequence.

[0031] Optionally, the central tube includes a first tube and a second tube, the diameter of the first tube is larger than that of the second tube, the lower end of the first tube is located above the lower end of the open casing, and the interior of the first tube is used to install a submersible pump.

[0032] Specifically, the central pipe adopts a reducer, and the diameter of the first pipe is larger than that of the second pipe, which is used to accommodate a submersible pump.

When in use, turn on the submersible pump, and the geothermal water is produced through the water-producing layer through the center pipe. After heat exchange on the ground, it is recharged to the recharge layer through the annulus.

[0049] The present invention also provides a geothermal extraction and irrigation system, comprising the above-mentioned geothermal extraction and irrigation well.
