چکیده
The Alberta No. 1 project is a planned power and heat (direct use) geothermal located within the County of Grande Prairie Municipal District Greenview. For to successfully produce on commercial scale, temperatures 120 °C are desirable. produced fluids must also be from highly permeable formations depths less than 4500 m. Bottomhole temperature measurements wireline logs Alberta’s extensive oil gas database were used determine target these in area. include dolomitized carbonate units Devonian age Beaverhill Lake Group top Precambrian Basement. Permeable Devonian-aged sandstone such as Granite Wash Formation targets. Results suggest that elevation range 3104 m 4094 at formation 87 123 study Elevation Basement ranges 3205 4223 74 124 °C. Within area where plans drill, close exceeding expected formations.

Mathematical Investigation of Soil Temperature Variation for Geothermal Applications
This paper aims to predict the periodic variation of ground temperature with depth for time variant condition of ambient air temperature and solar radiation data for Jamshedpur, India. Fourier series and numerical techniques have been used to determine (hottest and coldest day) diurnal and annual temperature variation of the year 2015. The diurnal temperature variation is up to 0.2 m depth of s...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
Estimation of the Formation Temperature from the Inlet and Outlet Mud Temperatures While Drilling Geothermal Formations
Formation temperature is an important parameter in geothermal drilling since it affects drilling fluid, operations and equipment, through mud temperatures. In this study formation temperatures of the five geothermal wells in Germencik-Omerbeyli field were estimated by using mud inlet and outlet temperatures obtained during drilling. GTEMP wellbore thermal simulation model was used to estimate t...
متن کاملA 1 KW Thermoelectric Generator for Low-temperature Geothermal Resources
Most of the current thermal power-generation technologies must first convert thermal energy to mechanical work before producing electricity. Thermoelectric generation technology, as one entirely solid-state energy conversion method, can directly transform thermal energy into electricity by using thermoelectric transformation materials. A thermoelectric power converter has no moving parts, and i...
