Abstract:
A geothermal energy extraction subterranean system for extracting heat from a subterranean formation has an injection well in a first borehole and a first production well extracting the heated working fluid through a first production opening. The first well tubular metal structure has first and second annular barriers to isolate a production zone, each annular barrier including a tubular metal part having a first expansion opening and an outer face, an expandable metal sleeve surrounding the tubular metal part and having an inner face facing the tubular metal part and an outer face facing the wall, each end of the expandable metal sleeve being connected with the tubular metal part. The first production zone is arranged between the first and second well tubular metal structures so that the heated working fluid is extracted in the second well tubular metal structure through the first production opening.
