Evaluation of Geothermal Wellhead Generation Using Well BN-06D in Province of Biliran, Philippines

Abstract

Biliran I Geothermal Project is one of the promising yet undeveloped intermediate-enthalpy geothermal resources in the Philippines. It was initially explored but later abandoned due to high corrosive brine from the wells. Years later, scientists and engineers created Fluid Management System (FMS) and chose Well BN-06D for the well testing procedure. The FMS was eventually completed and has been successful. Due to wellhead power plants are currently being used worldwide, this study will use Well BN-06D for determining its power generation. By using the parameters from FMS bore output measurements and Engineers Equation Solver (EES) codes, this study evaluated the potential generation of Well BN-06D through energy analysis as well as the applicable and available conceptual models suited for the well, including the system optimization.
