WHY CONSIDER <strong>GEOTHERMAL</strong><br />
ASSETS IN A STRIPPER OIL FIELD?<br />
<strong>RMOTC</strong> will partner with industry and<br />
academia to provide a test site for<br />
technologies that to reduce energy-related<br />
operational costs.<br />
• Energy efficiency<br />
• Energy conservation<br />
• Alternative energy sources
KEY CHALLENGES<br />
• Acceptance by Industry<br />
• Creation of a Joint Industry Partnership (JIP)<br />
• Consensus on best technologies<br />
• Funding for infrastructure support<br />
• Funding of Projects

Assumptions<br />
1. 130 MBWPD<br />
2. 220° F surface temperature of water<br />
3. 48° Mean ambient temperature (WGS data)<br />
4. 53 MBTU/°F - BWPD<br />
Heat content<br />
Total heat content = (53,000)(220 – 48) X 130,000<br />
= 1.18 x 10 12 BTUs per day<br />
Power potential<br />
1 MW can be extracted from 1.7 MBWPD at 200° F (SMU data)<br />
For 130 MBWPD, power = 130/1.7 = 76 MW
