Response surface method for assessing energy production from geopressured geothermal reservoirs
Background Reducing greenhouse gases and providing the world’s future energy require searching for clean alternative energy resources that can substitute for fossil fuel. Geopressured geothermal reservoirs along the US Gulf Coast are an alternative energy resource which have been considered as marginal and have not been developed extensively. The information available about these resources come...
متن کاملEffects of Coupled Convection and Co2 Injection in Stimulation of Geopressured Geothermal Reservoirs
Geopressured brines are a vast geothermal resource in the US Gulf of Mexico region. In particular, geopressured sandstones near salt domes are potential sources of geothermal energy because salt diapirs with high thermal conductivity may pierce younger, cooler strata. These characteristics enhance transfer heat from older, hotter strata at the base of the diapir into shallower strata. Moreover,...
متن کاملA Method to Recover Useful Geothermal - Reservoir Parameters ( 1 ) Steam Reservoirs . from Production Characteristic Curves
In this paper we develop and demonstrate a method to estimate the reservoir pressure and a productivity index for vertical steam wells, from its production characteristic (also called output) curves. In addition, the method allows to estimate the radius of influence of the well, provided that a value of the reservoir transmisivity is available. The basic structure of the present method is: firs...
متن کاملA Capillary Pressure Model for Geothermal Reservoirs
Abstract Steam-water capillary pressure is often either ignored or determined artificially in geothermal reservoir engineering. However steam-water capillary pressure plays an important role in geothermal reservoir performance and may not be substituted by air-water capillary pressure. To this end, preliminary mathematical models have been developed to calculate drainage and imbibition steam-wa...
متن کاملGeothermal Energy Production and Utilization in Hungary
The utilization of geothermal energy has a long tradition in Hungary. When the present economic recession in the country ends in the near future, geothermal energy will surely play an increasing role in the energy supply. The paper shortly reviews the history of geothermal power use and discusses the present state of geothermal energy production in the country. Present power statistics as well ...
