The article analyzes the efficiency of geothermal energy extraction method. Different regions of the Russian Federation were analyzed. Available geothermal energy extraction technologies using nomograms were analyzed. The nomograms describe the dynamics of outlet changes in temperatures and the amount of energy produced at various coefficients of thermal conductivity and heat capacity of rocks. The nomograms used for selection of suitable geothermal energy production technologies depending on geological and physical conditions were developed. Based on geological and physical characteristics of the bottomhole formation zone, such well parameters as the radii of the casing and the tubing and coolant velocity, outlet temperatures and thermal capacity of the well were calculated. The more efficient technology was selected.
