INNOVATIVE PARTICLE GELS FOR CONTROLLING PREFERENTIAL FLUID FLOW IN GEOTHERMAL RESERVOIRS TO ENHANCE HEAT RECOVERY THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND DEMONSTRATE A COST-EFFECTIVE, SWELLABLE PARTICLE GEL-BASED TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE USED TO CONTROL THE PREFERENTIAL FLUID FLOW THROUGH FRACTURE NETWORKS WITHIN THE RESERVOIRS AND AWAY FROM THE WELLBORE TO INCREASE THE PERFORMANCE OF EGS RESERVOIRS.
