The team of university and industry engine … The team of university and industry engineers, scientists, and project developers will evaluate the power capacity, efficiency, and economics of five commercially available ORC engines in collaboration with the equipment manufacturers. The geothermal ORC system will be installed at an oil field operated by Continental Resources, Inc. in western North Dakota where geothermal fluids occur in sedimentary formations at depths of 10,000 feet. The power plant will be operated and monitored for two years to develop engineering and economic models for geothermal ORC energy production. Data and experience acquired can be used to facilitate the installation of similar geothermal ORC systems in other oil and gas settings.
It is essential to demonstrate that the technology can be replicated within a wide range of physical parameters including geothermal fluid temperatures, flow rates, and the price of electricity sales.
Successful demonstration that base-load power can be generated from low-temperature geothermal resources will spawn a new domestic industry, lead to job creation, and would be a positive step toward increasing domestic energy supplies and reducing CO2 buildup in the atmosphere.nd reducing CO2 buildup in the atmosphere.
