[0002] Geothermal wells are wells drilled for the purpose of exploiting geothermal resources. Currently, most geothermal wells are water-extracting wells, which directly extract high-temperature groundwater for use. However, for some areas with rich geothermal resources but less groundwater, drilling can only produce hot dry rock geothermal wells.
