Abstract
A geothermal power system generates electricity using a geothermal fluid. The geothermal fluid is produced from, and then injected into, fractures in a subterranean formation such that pressures inside the fractures are maintained between the corresponding closure pressures propagation pressures of the fractures. In some aspects, the fractures are devoid of proppant, and are maintained open by the pressure of the fluid within the fractures.
