26.5.1 Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) In the field of EGS, Ormat, supported by DOE, has focused its efforts at existing operating plants at the Brady‘s Hot Springs and Desert Peak geothermal fields in Nevada. 26.5.1.1 Desert Peak At Desert Peak, supported by DOE, Ormat has been working with a combination of experts from the U.S. and around the world for the past three years. The ultimate goal of the project is to increase power generation at the Desert Peak power plant by stimulating a non-productive and hydrogeologically isolated heat reservoir located more than 1.6 km east of the developed hydrothermal system currently being utilized by the operating power plant. Through this project, the techniques successfully tested in this stimulation effort will be applied in projects throughout the globe. Ormat‘s U.S. partners in this project include Geothermex, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the US Geological Survey (seismic studies), Temple University, and the University of Utah. Thus far, the project has advanced to the stimulation of fractures in an existing well within the isolated heat reservoir. 26.5.1.2 Brady At Brady‘s Hot Springs, approximately 6.5 km northwest of Desert Peak, a similar EGS project is underway. The purpose is to increase power generation at the operating Brady‘s power plant by stimulating a well or wells in the southwestern part of the field, along the extension of the Brady fault south of the production area. This project is ongoing, following a similar methodology applied at Desert Peak, but also building from what was learned thus far at Desert Peak. Partners include Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Lab, the University of Nevada-Reno, and the University of Utah. 26.5.2 InnovativeExplorationandDrilling In the field of innovative exploration and drilling technology, Ormat has advanced several of its geothermal projects through various grants. Ormat and the DOE have collaborated on matching grants to fund exploration and drilling in Hawaii, Oregon and California. The collaboration includes: (1) acquiring, processing and interpreting high-resolution 3-D seismic data that will be used for drilling activity; (2) Implementing remote sensing techniques designed to better delineate the unique geological setting, and (3) better identify upflow zones to reduce exploration drilling risks A $2 million grant from the State of Alaska has enabled Ormat to perform exploration and core- hole drilling at Mount Spurr, an active volcanic complex 130 km west of Anchorage and 65 km west of Alaska‘s largest generating facility (the Beluga Natural Gas plant). The grant was provided to support exploration and drilling programs during the summers of 2010 and 2011. Innovative remote sensing techniques have also been used in the exploration studies. 26.5.3 Co-production of Electricity at Oil and Gas Fields Ormat, in a joint project with the Department of Energy (DOE) at the Rocky Mountain Oil Test Center (RMOTC), validates the feasibility of proven technology already used in Geothermal and Recovered Energy Generation (REG) for the production of commercial electricity using hot water produced during the process of oil and gas field production. This project marks the first of its kind by providing on-site fuel-free power that will increase the productivity and possibly extend the longevity of existing U.S. oil fields. 287PDF Image | Geothermal Research and Tech IEA
