Claim 0:
1. A geothermal well system comprising:
at least one radiator injection well extending from subterranean water reservoir of a formation to a permeable radiator zone of the formation, wherein the radiator zone is located at a greater depth than the subterranean water reservoir and the at least one radiator injection well fluidically coupling the subterranean water reservoir with the radiator zone to directly transfer fluid contained in the subterranean water reservoir into the radiator zone for heating;
the at least one radiator injection well has a first section and a second section, the first section has an end that is disposed in the subterranean water reservoir and fluidically connected to the subterranean water reservoir to directly receive fluid from the subterranean water reservoir, the first section extending from the end in a direction downwardly in the formation and into the permeable radiator zone, the second section extends from the first section in a direction horizontally in the radiator zone and the second section being open to the radiator zone to permit fluid from the second section to flow into the radiator zone, wherein fluid from the water reservoir flows from the water reservoir to the radiator zone entirely within the formation by the first and second sections of the at least one radiator injection well; and
at least one recovery well extending from the surface of the earth to the radiator zone and being configured to recover the fluid transferred from the subterranean water reservoir to the at least one radiator zone by the radiator injection well.
