Geothermal Drilling and Completions: Petroleum Practices Technology Transfer

Sep 30, 2014
10.36 MB
Publicly accessible
NREL and the Colorado School of Mines (SURGE) conducted research in FY14 to identify petroleum drilling and completion practices (methods and technologies) that can be transferred to geothermal drilling and completion, to provide the geothermal industry with more effective, lower ...

High-Pressure Combustion and Deflagration-to-Detonation Transition in Ethylene/Nitrous Oxide Mixtures

Nov 01, 2013
13.95 MB
Publicly accessible
In this paper, the combustion of nitrous oxide with a simple hydrocarbon, ethylene, at high initial pressures is investigated. A series of experiments were conducted using a stoichiometric C2H4-N2O mixture in a round, smooth-walled tube with initial pressures of 125 to 337 psi. ...

Applications of Geothermally-Produced Colloidal Silica in Reservoir Management Smart Gels

Jan 31, 2013
3.56 MB
Publicly accessible
In enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) the reservoir permeability is often enhanced or created using hydraulic fracturing. In hydraulic fracturing, high fluid pressures are applied to confined zones in the subsurface usually using packers to fracture the host rock. This enhances r...
