Abstract Motivated by hydraulic stimulation of enhanced geothermal systems, the present paper investigates coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical response a well imbedded in thermoporoelastic medium, subjected to non-isothermal fluid flux and convective cooling on borehole surface. Our focus centers effect local thermal non-equilibrium (LTNE) temporal-spatial evolution temperatures, pore pressure, stresses, where solid phases have two distinct temperatures heat transfer between is addressed. We employ integral transform load decomposition techniques derive analytical solutions Laplace domain. This methodology allows us disentangle separate individual contributions changes pressure stresses from injection transfer. The results reveal that compared classical equilibrium model, thermally induced slightly lower under LTNE conditions. has significant influence temporal especially vicinity wellbore.

Horizontal-well depressurization for marine hydrate exploitation started in 2020. Short-term gas production stability (∼30 days) contrasts with ongoing uncertainties about long-term performance and security. To address these concerns, we used the 2020 Shenhu field test as a case study created fully coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical model. Employing this model, cumulative closely matched data, deviation below 1.5%. Our numerical simulations showed following: (1) Following initiation, rapid increase effective principal stress of reservoir stabilized near well after 30 days at seafloor 2 years, without reaching failure conditions. (2) Variable led to complex temporal spatial formation deformation. During 30-day test, subsidence mostly occurred (<10 cm). However, approximately 250 days, measurable (∼3 cm) began, 21 cm 4 years. (3) Formation deformation hindered production. Simulations indicated reductions 33.6 15.2% release volumes, respectively, over 5 findings shed light on interplay among depressurization, deformation, exploitation, contributing better understanding dynamics exploitation.
