Abstract
A technique facilitates both a fracturing operation and a subsequent production operation in, for example, a geothermal well system. According to an embodiment, a geothermal well completion is deployed downhole into a wellbore. The geothermal well completion comprises a tubular section deployed in a well zone and having a fracturing port and a production port. Additionally, a shiftable tool is disposed in the tubular section. The shiftable tool comprises a sleeve system which is selectively shiftable between a plurality of operational flow positions. In some embodiments, a plurality of the shiftable tools may be used along corresponding well zones to facilitate fracturing of the well zones while also ensuring the outflow of production fluid has a desired balance along the plurality of well zones.
