Two-Stage Geothermal Well Clustering for Oil-to-Water Conversion on Mature Oil Fields

There are numerous oil fields that approaching the end of their lifetime and have great geothermal potential considering temperature water cut. On other hand, industry is facing challenges due to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. An example this case France where extraction will be forbidden starting from year 2035. Therefore, some companies switching business investing in projects conducted on existing wells. The proposed methodology developed conversions present evaluation potentials for each field terms flow rate. additional important aspect also spatial distribution wells related specific field. This paper proposes a two-stage clustering approach grouping similar properties. Once grouped basis, these clusters should clustered once more with respect arrangement order optimize location production facilities. outputs regarding quantities economic aspects provide insight into optimal scenario oil-to-water conversion. scenarios differ produced energy technology used. A study has been comparison overall shown, together formed can further determine possible conversion petroleum assets assets.
