Original Abstract Submitted
methods and systems are provided for extracting thermal energy from a geothermal reservoir. one aspect involves drilling at least one sidetrack that extends from a primary wellbore and intersects at least one fracture target in the geothermal reservoir. the at least one sidetrack can be configured to increase fluid flow into the primary wellbore from the at least one fracture target. the increase of fluid flow into the primary wellbore from the at least one fracture target as provided by the at least one sidetrack can increase the amount of captured heat from the geothermal reservoir.
