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 ...
Substantial unexploited opportunity exists for the US, and the world, in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). This cost analysis study provides a baseline cost for a 50 MW Geothermal Power Plant in a challenging New England environment. The study then assesses how project costs wo...
The following resources host grid service pricing (e.g. ancillary services) beyond wholesale electric pricing. The NREL Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) provides a consistent set of technology cost and performance data for energy analysis.
EGS field projects have not sustained production at rates greater than half of what is needed for economic viability. The primary limitation that makes commercial EGS infeasible is our current inability to cost-effectively create high-permeability reservoirs from impermeable, igne...
In California and Nevada, geothermal projects are subject to non-technical barriers, which may create development delays leading to higher project costs and risks and decreased competitiveness with other electricity generation technologies. These non-technical barriers may include...
This is a presentation on the Temperature Testing of Proppants for EGS and Stimulation of Electromagnetic Fracture Mapping Using Electrically-Conducive Proppants by Stevens Institute of Technology, presented by Cheng Chen. This video slide presentation discusses well controlled la...
Polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits are routinely used in the oil and gas industry for drilling medium to hard rock but have not been adopted for geothermal drilling, largely due to past reliability issues and higher purchase costs. The Sandia Geothermal Research Departmen...
This reference database in RIS format contains all of the references that were collected as part of our retrospective analysis of geothermal mineral recovery (REE and Li) activities and domestic resource assessment. The outputs detail the chemistry and molecular processes used in ...
A downhole tubing bending study was made and is reported herein. This study developed a model to predict the shape of the pipe at downhole conditions and determines if the various pipe string sizes can reach a specified landing depth. The wellbore trajectory is described by this s...
These spreadsheets include a Techno-Economic Analysis (TEA) summary and descriptions and links to mining data analyzed as part of this study. The TEA summary includes the results from several mining data-informed geothermal development models analyzed using the DOE's Geothermal El...
The paper was presented at the 46th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, California, February 15-17, 2021. In this study, the effectiveness of different additives was evaluated in maintaining drilling fluid rheology at HPHT(high pressure and...
We summarized the FY17 and part of FY18 results of the analysis of the effect of several parameters (e.g., total dissolved solids, specific competing metals, pH, and temperature) on REE recovery from geothermal brine in a manuscript that was submitted to Environmental Science & Te...
The Department of Energy (DOE), Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) launched a multi-phase funding program to advance technologies for extraction of lithium from geothermal brines. This initiative, known as American-Made Geothermal Lithium Extraction Prize (GLEP), had objectives ...
This submission includes input and results data from analysis done as part of the Geothermal Technology Office's Geothermal Vision Study (GeoVision). The submission includes data for both analysis of the electricity sector and the heating and cooling sector. For the electricity se...
This data is a compilation of well observations from the Southern Methodist University (SMU) and Association of American State Geologists (AASG), location of identified low temperature geothermal systems from United States Geological Survey (USGS), and low temperature geothermal w...
This is a presentation on Thermo Re-Settable Straddle System by PetroQuip Energy Services, presented by Robert Coon. This video slide presentation describes the development of a resettable straddle tool with multiple packers and injection ports designed to test multiple open-hole ...
This dataset contains the results of a study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to identify potential future priority geothermal leasing areas on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and United States Forest Service (USFS) lands. The analysis uses the Regional...
This is a presentation on High-Temperature Testing of Proppants for EGS and Simulation of Electromagnetic Fracture Mapping Using Electrically-Conductive Proppants by Stevens Institute of Technology, presented by Dr. Cheng Chen. This video slide presentation describes laboratory te...
This dataset contains tracer test results from stimulation and circulation experiments conducted on the Utah FORGE wells 16A(78)-32 and 16B(78)-32 during 2024. The data was collected by RESMAN Energy Technology and includes detailed tracer analysis from flowback, short and extende...
This shapefile contains location and attribute data for a Geoprobe temperature survey conducted by Geothermal Technical Partners, Inc. during 2010. The purpose of direct push technology (DPT) probe activity at the McGee Mtn. Project, Nevada was to 1) determine bottom hole temperat...
This submission includes the University of Alaska Fairbanks Monthly Research Performance Progress Reports. The goal of this project is to develop an improved cement for geothermal wells.
