Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising creating the confined geothermal reservoir system by:
identifying a low-permeability geothermal formation;
drilling into the low-permeability formation;
installing the injection well and the production well with injection intervals and production intervals located within the low-permeability formation; and
performing a well stimulation treatment on at least one of the wells that results in hydraulically coupling the injection and production wells via a plurality of fractures disposed in a geothermal energy reservoir;
wherein the plurality of fractures are a primary flow path between the injection and production wells and wherein the low-permeability formation surrounding the fractures prevents fluid leakoff.
