Abstract
To perform numerical simulation of the geological-hydrogeological problem, in which the hydraulic interaction is investigated between porous and fractured rock bodies, a finite element modelling system called FeFlow was applied. Modelling results suggest that the protruding basement highs govern heat transfer and fluid flow like a “hydro-geothermal chimney” owing to their stratigraphic and structural position as well as favourable hydraulic and thermal conductivities. Thus such fractured basement highs are deemed prospective for further geothermal investigations.
