Abstract:

The search for more efficient and economical forms of energy is a continual process. Natural gas production and electricity generation from geopressured geothermal aquifers is an unconventional hydrocarbon source that has long been unproductive due to its marginal economics and lack of technical certainty. Given current economic constraints and considering the application of modern technologies, geopressured geothermal energy maintains a potential future as an alternative domestic energy source. This paper presents a range of conditions where the production of geopressured geothermal aquifers offers an economically viable solution.
