Introduction Method Results Conclusions
Temperature profile monitoring under different flow conditions
The objective is to characterize fracture hydraulic properties and connectivity

Introduction Method Results Conclusions
Borehole scale model for flow and heat transfer
T is the temperature, is the thermal diffusivity of fluid and rock, and v is the borehole flow velocity.

Introduction Method Results Conclusions
The numerically obtained temperature profiles for borehole velocities varying from 0.1 mm/s to 1 cm/s, a typical range of borehole flow velocities observed in fractured formations under ambient conditions
Temperature profiles are found to be very sensitive to borehole flow velocities

Introduction Method Results Conclusions
Estimation of the hydraulic properties from the temperature profiles
Once the single and cross-borehole temperature profiles have been
converted into flow profiles, the flow profiles can be interpreted to
infer fracture hydraulic properties.

We use the flow modelling approach proposed by Paillet
(1998).

Introduction Method Results Conclusions
Conclusions
• We have developed a methodology for characterizing spatially distributed hydraulic
properties based on temperature profile measurement under ambient, single-borehole
and cross-borehole pumping tests
V
• Vertical flow velocities deduced from the inversion of temperature profiles are
in good agreement with direct flowmeter measurements
• Temperature profiles are strongly sensitive to vertical borehole flow
