1. A method for extracting thermal energy from a geothermal reservoir having a feature that extends through the geothermal reservoir, the method comprising:
analyzing subsurface data to determine an intersection of the feature with a production well in the geothermal reservoir, wherein the feature provides a flow path of geothermal fluid into the production well;
performing a first intervention at a position in the production well that corresponds to the intersection, wherein the first intervention comprises perforating by combusting a propellant to generate a combustion wave towards the intersection and is configured to increase a first flow rate of the geothermal fluid from the feature into the production well; and
performing a second intervention at the position in the production well, wherein the second intervention comprises stimulating.
