A thermal system includes a borehole heat exchanger, a facility, a data center including at least one heat generating electronic component, and a ground-source heat pump. A dynamic downhole fluid circuit connects the data center, the borehole heat exchanger, and the ground-source heat pump with a flow of a downhole fluid and is configured to connect the data center, the borehole heat exchanger, and the ground-source heat pump in a plurality of different configurations to reject heat from the data center. The thermal system further includes a facility fluid circuit for connecting the facility and the ground-source heat pump with a facility fluid, wherein the ground-source heat pump thermally connects the dynamic downhole fluid circuit and the facility fluid circuit.

A thermal system includes a borehole heat exchanger, a facility having a peak heating load, a data center including at least one heat generating electronic component, and a ground-source heat pump. The data center, the borehole heat exchanger, and the ground-source heat pump are connected in a dynamic downhole fluid circuit with a flow of a downhole fluid.

A method includes causing a first portion of a heat-transfer working fluid to flow from a first lateral wellbore of a closed-loop geothermal well to a second lateral wellbore of the closed-loop geothermal well via a wellbore intersection. The first lateral wellbore and the second lateral wellbore reside in a target subterranean zone. A second portion of the heat-transfer working fluid is caused to flow through the Earth of the target subterranean zone from the first lateral wellbore to the second lateral wellbore.

A method of improving heat recovery from a geothermal well includes receiving temperature distribution data from a distributed temperature sensing (DTS) system comprising a fiber optic cable disposed in a wellbore, which extends through a formation; analyzing the temperature distribution data to determine a fluid flow profile along the wellbore; determining, based on the fluid flow profile, a location of dominant flow rate; and injecting a sealing agent into the formation at the location. When the sealing agent cures, fractures within a fracture system are sealed in the formation at the location. The cured sealing agent prevents or mitigates fluid flow through the formation at the location.
