To accelerate development of an important source of clean energy during the energy transition, proven oil and gas technologies can pivot towards geothermal energy production, for both power generation and direct heat applications. The book's chapters are written by world-renewed subject matter experts who address practical applications optimized in the oil and gas industry that can be adapted to accelerate geothermal energy production.
The book progresses from an introduction to geothermal energy, cover types of geothermal and hybrid systems, address geothermal subsurface characterization, exploration, drilling, completion and production, facilities and project management, and includes analysis of technical and economic aspects of geothermal systems, gaps and future opportunities.
- Explores recent developments in geothermal energy systems
- Addresses practical applications that have been optimized in the oil and gas industry
- Covers topics that include engineering and operational topics, innovation models, and oil and gas technologies that need to be modified to be applied to geothermal energy
