Exceptional Enhanced Geothermal Systems from Oil and Gas Reservoirs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A lot of oil and gas reservoirs have been or will be abandoned in petroleum industry. In this study, we pointed out that these oil and gas reservoirs might be transferred into exceptional enhanced geothermal reservoirs with very high temperatures by oxidizing the residual oil with injected air. A concept to generate power from these exceptional enhanced geothermal reservoirs by using geothermal power generation technology was proposed. Using Du84 reservoir in Shuguang oil field, Liaohe, PetroChina as an example, we estimated the possible power and the income that might be generated from such an exceptional enhanced geothermal system.

Differences in Estimating Reserves between Geothermal and Petroleum Reservoirs
The existing volumetric approach was honored by considering the effects of oil and gas saturations on the evaluation of geothermal resources in oil and gas reservoirs. The main reason to do so was that oil and gas phases may not be simply substituted by water because the values of the specific heat of oil and gas are smaller than that of water. We selected an oil reservoir, Hexiwu, from Huabei ...
متن کاملApplication of Nanoparticles for Chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery
In this paper, the potentials of using particles, especially nanoparticles, in enhanced oil recovery is investigated. The effect of different nanoparticles on wettability alteration, which is an important method to increase oil recovery from oil-wet reservoirs, is reviewed. The effect of different kinds of particles, namely solid inorganic particles, hydrophilic or hydrophobic nanoparticles, an...
متن کاملSilica Gel Behavior under Different Egs Chemical and Thermal Conditions: an Experimental Study
Fractures and fracture networks are the principal pathways for migration of water and contaminants in groundwater systems, fluids in enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), oil and gas in petroleum reservoirs, carbon dioxide leakage from geological carbon sequestration, and radioactive and toxic industrial wastes from underground storage repositories. When dealing with EGS fracture networks, there a...
متن کاملFluid-induced Seismicity
The characterization of fluid-transport properties of rocks is one of the most important, yet difficult, challenges of reservoir geophysics, but is essential for optimal development of hydrocarbon and geothermal reservoirs. Production of shale oil, shale gas, heavy oil and geothermal energy, as well as carbon-dioxide sequestration, are relatively recent developments where borehole fluid injecti...
متن کاملUTILIZING CONCEPTUAL MODELING IN THE STUDY OF ONE OF THE IRANIAN FRACTURED CARBONATE RESERVOIRS
A typical Iranian carbonate matrix block surrounded by an open fracture was modeled in order to understand the fracture-matrix interaction and realize how to model the interaction best. The modeling was carried out by using a fine-scaled Eclipse model in the single porosity mode (the fractures were explicitly modeled). The model was extended to a stack of 6 matrix blocks to understand block-to-...
