Completion and testing. Final report Author: Willits, M.H. Year: 1979 The Fairfax Foster Sutter No. 2 well, located in the East Franklin area of St. Mary Parish, Louisiana, is the first successful test of a geopressured-geothermal aquifer under the Well-of-Opportunity program. The section tested was the MA-6 sand of lower Miocene age which has produced large quantities of gas from the adjacent but structurally separated Garden City field. In the subject well the observed temperature was 270{sup 0}F (132{sup 0}C) and the measured gradient was 0.77 psi/ft. The gross sand thickness was 270 feet, the net sand thickness 190 feet, and the tested interval 58 net feet. The temperatures and pressures encountered approached the limits of the surface-recording bottomhole pressure gauge and particularly the single-conductor cables on which the gauges were run. The objectives of the tests were all accomplished, and data were obtained which will contribute to the overall assessment of the geopressured-geothermal resource of the Upper Gulf of Mexico basin. In general, the gas solubility (22.8 scf/bbl) was as expected for the temperature, pressure, and salinity of the brine. The produced water was more saline than expected (160,000 mg/l). The high concentrations of dissolved solids, coupled with the evolution of CO{sub 2} from these waters during production, created a scaling problem in the tubular goods and surface equipment that will have to be addressed in future tests; DOE/ET/28460-1 Title: Investigation and evaluation of geopressured-geothermal wells.

Year: 1981 Investigation and flow testing of the enlarged Phase I heat-extraction system at Fenton Hill continued throughout FY80. Temperature drawdown observed at that time indicated an effective fracture of approximately 40,000 to 60,000 m/sup 2/. In May 1980, hot dry rock (HDR) technology was used to produce electricity in an interface demonstration experiment at Fenton Hill. A 60-kVA binary-cycle electrical generator was installed in the Phase I surface system and heat from about 3 kg/s of geothermal fluid at 132/sup 0/C was used to boil Freon R-114, whose vapor drove a turboalternator. A Phase II system was designed and is now being constructed at Fenton Hill that should approach commercial requirements. Borehole EE-2, the injection well, was completed on May 12, 1980. It was drilled to a vertical depth of about 4500 m, where the rock temperature is approximately 320/sup 0/C. The production well, EE-3 had been drilled to a depth of 3044 m and drilling was continuing. Environmental monitoring of Fenton Hill site continued. Development of equipment, instruments, and materials for technical support at Fenton Hill continued during FY80. Several kinds of models were also developed to understand the behavior of the Phase I system and to develop a predictive capability for future systems.

This concern is reflected in DOE`s support of a number of energy conversion projects. Projects which focus on the costs and performance of binary cycle technology include a commercial demonstration of supersaturated turbine expansions, which earlier Studies have indicated could increase the power produced per pound of fluid. Other binary cycle projects include evaluations of the performance of various working fluid mixtures and the development and testing of advanced heat rejection systems which are desperately needed in water-short geothermal areas. DOE is also investigating the applicability of flash steam technology to low-temperature resources, as an economic alternative to binary cycle systems. A low-cost, low-pressure steam turbine, selected for a grant, will be constructed to utilize fluid discharged from a flash steam plant in Nevada. Another project addresses the efficiency of high-temperature flash plants with a demonstration of the performance of the Biphase turbine which may increase the power output of such installations with no increase in fluid flow. Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of this issue of the GPM, the 17th since its inception in 1980, is the high degree of industry participation in federally-sponsored geothermal research and development.

  	Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Geothermal Direct Contact Heat Exchange Final Report Author: Sims, A.V. Year: 1976 Sufficient work has been done to date to establish geothermal energy as a significant source for meeting our future energy needs. At the present time there are only a few geothermal power plants in operation; in the United States, The Geysers field is the only location of commercial importance. The Geysers field is a vapor dominated reservoir, producing steam that is used directly in steam turbines. Such reservoirs are comparatively rare, and represent only a small portion of the available geothermal energy. Dry rock or magma sources are a potentially much larger source of geothermal energy, but the technology for utilizing these resources has not been developed. Liquid dominated reservoirs are a major source of geothermal energy and technology is available for exploiting them. Thus, liquid dominated reservoirs are the geothermal energy resource of major interest at this time. The principal power generation processes being considered for use with liquid dominated geothermal reservoirs are the binary, the flashed steam, and the direct contact; although many variations within the general classifications are possible. The flashed steam process is probably the simplest and is suitable for use with heavy scaling brines. The capital cost for the plant is probably lowest of the three, but brine usage for unit of power produced tends to be high. The binary process appears to be more efficient, but depends on the use of shell and tube heat exchangers for transferring heat from the brine to the working fluid. The use of such exchangers is impractical for brines with heavy scaling characteristics, and in any event the cost of the exchangers is a large part of the total plant cost. The direct contact binary process offers the possibility of reduced plant cost, good efficiency, and suitability for use with scaling brines. The process is, however, the least developed of the three and presents areas of technological uncertainty. The work reported here is a preliminary investigation of some of the technical and economic aspects of the direct contact process, and was undertaken in order to evaluate the commercial potential of the process. The work consisted of laboratory tests, a conceptual design, a 50 MWe plant design, an economic study, and a pilot plant program. The laboratory tests were made to obtain enough information to develop a realistic preliminary plant design. A glass direct contact heat exchange column was designed, constructed, and operated to get information on general performance characteristics, tray efficiencies, sizing correlations, and temperature approaches. A hot water-normal hexane system was used to permit operation in a glass column at atmospheric pressure. The physical characteristics of this system are close to those proposed for the commercial plant so the answers obtained are applicable to the commercial system. Hydrocarbon stripping tests were made using a glass column and nitrogen as stripping gas in order to establish the feasibility of recovering hydrocarbon from spent hot water. The tests showed that more work is needed in this area but that hydrocarbon stripping is feasible. Solubility tests were conducted to determine the effect of temperature, and brine composition on the solubility of three hydrocarbons. This information was needed to evaluate the impact of hydrocarbon losses on the cost of power production. A computer program was developed to aid in the evaluation of various possible direct contact thermodynamic cycles. The effect of operating variables on power production was evaluated; including the effect of brine inlet temperature, operating pressure, condensing temperature and choice of working fluid. After a general investigation, an optimum cycle was found for a specific site, the Heber field. The Heber field, located in the Imperial Valley of Southern California, was chosen as representative of a medium temperature low salinity reservoir with excellent commercial potential. As part of the conceptual design, studies were made on the prevention of working fluid loss in rejected hot water and in noncondensable gases, and the elimination of particulates in expander inlet gas. The studies were used to establish practical solutions to these important design problems, at least for the preliminary design. The results of the conceptual design were used to develop a preliminary design for a 50 MWe (delivered) plant. The plant was sized for 50MWe since preliminary studies made as part of another project had established this as an economic size. An estimated capital cost was developed for the 50 MWe plant, for use in the economic study. The economic study made use of a considerable body of information developed as part of a project done for the Electric Power Research Institute by Holt/Procon, a joint venture of The Ben Holt Co. and Procon Incorporated. This information included plant and operating costs for a closed loop binary and a two-stage flashed steam process as well as costs for brine production and power transmission. The same methods and factors were used for the direct contact process. Thus, it was possible to obtain a comparison among the three processes on a consistent basis. The relative values obtained should be relatively accurate. Since the process shows promise, a pilot plant program was prepared outlining areas for future work Title: Geothermal Direct Contact Heat Exchange Final Report Author: Sims, A.V.

Year: 2000, 2005 ABSTRACT Phase VI of the School-Based Klamath Restoration Project (319h) is a collaborative effort between seven Siskiyou County schools, the Siskiyou County Office of Education (SCOE), and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The objectives of the project include: ? Expanding hands-on field science watershed education. ? Encouraging a sense of resource stewardship among students at all grade levels. ? Collecting quality data for inclusion in the 319h data base. ? Teaching applications of the scientific method. ? Providing on-going inservice training for teachers to increase the effectiveness of the project. Project tasks that were completed include acquisition and analysis of Klamath River Watershed Data, including river water temperatures, river cross sectional profiles and spawning ground surveys. Descriptions of methodology are included in the report. Many other watershed-related projects were undertaken by schools. In some cases the field data was collected and compiled by agency personnel. The spawning ground survey data collected by student volunteers was part of a project conducted by the California Department of Fish and Game and the U.S. Forest Service. Although a substantial amount of excellent work has been accomplished by the schools, the opportunity exists to improve the program at all levels. Increased field and technical support is needed to successfully integrate the goals of the project. Computer training for teachers and students is an essential component of the project, which would allow analysis of data and creation of web sites within classrooms. Data analysis and reporting is the critical component of the project that would provide students with a complete understanding of scientific research methodology. Providing a forum for communication between the 319h participants is another important area of the project that needs to be expanded. Travel time, mountainous topography, and intense winter storms can be barriers to travel in Siskiyou County. Communication helps to increase the level of standardization of data collection and transfer and gives teachers a chance to share successful ideas. Communication also sustains the positive momentum of the project, reinforcing the idea of working as a team towards establishing common goals for watershed education.

The TRD began operations in 1963, diverting up to 90 percent of the Trinity River's average annual yield at Lewiston, California. Access to 109 river miles of fish habitat and replenishment of coarse sediment from upstream river segments were permanently eliminated by Lewiston and Trinity Dams. Within a decade of completing the TRD, the adverse biological and geomorphic responses to TRD operations were obvious. Riverine habitats below Lewiston Dam degraded and salmon and steelhead populations noticeably declined.
