New python tool available!

uja_faultzones is a Python tool to quickly investigate the hydraulic influence of a fault zone on a geothermal wells flow regime and productivity index for a given set of reservoir properties.

It is especially designed for the Upper Jurassic Aquifer of the Northern Alpine Foreland Basin in Southern Germany. By constructing reduced numerical models for the calculation of pressure curves of pumping tests for a vertical well inside a 70° inclined, 1000m long fault zone surrounded by an porous aquifer of 500 meter thickness based on an calibrated FE model using the Reduced Basis Method, very fast and still very precise simulations are possible. No commercial software or complex FE codes are necessary to quickly calculate and plot the results of artificial pumping test for different fault zone – reservoir setups.
