System and Method for Using Controlled Fractures in Enhanced Geothermal Systems

A system comprising:

• an injection well bore being configured to receive a stream of water;
• at least a first slot substantially perpendicular to the injection well bore, the first slot having a first end and a distal end, the first end of the first slot being connected to the injection well bore such that the stream of water flows from the injection well bore into the first slot;
• at least a second slot substantially perpendicular to the injection well bore, the second slot having a first end and a distal end, the first end of the second slot being connected to the distal end of the first slot such that the stream of water flows from the first slot into the second slot;
• and
• at least one production well bore, the production well bore being connected to the distal end of the second slot such that the stream of water flows from the second slot into the production well bore.
