The increase of surface temperature as the cause of global climate change is a real threat to all living things. Increased surface temperatures is caused by heat trapped by too large CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Heat and electricity production activity in the economic sector is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Heat and electricity production activities comprise burning coal, natural gas, and oil. Geothermal energy is one of the alternative energy solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Increased production of geothermal energy can be done by drilling new wells or by reservoir stimulation. Hydraulic fracturing is one of the methods of reservoir stimulation to increase reservoir productivity. In the hydraulic fracturing there are several design parameters to consider. In this study, the sensitivity test on the parameters of proppant size, reservoir permeability, and fracturing fluid temperature will be done. The mentioned parameters will affect the optimum geometry, optimum fold of increase, and the end of job temperature of the hydraulic fracturing operation.
