In this seminar Dana Jurick, Chief Operating Officer of Neubrex Energy Services US LLC. discusses the collection, analysis and interpretation of strain measurements utilizing fiber optic cables.
Liquid-Dominated Reservoir
Typical of the large proportion of conventional geothermal resources in which wells are self-flowing or pumped depending on reservoir temperature. Self-flowing wells produce a mixture of steam and hot water from reservoirs that are close to boiling point or vapor-saturation. Pumped wells produce hot water only from reservoirs that are well below boiling temperature.
Geothermal Glossary
Word of the Week – Conduction
Conduction For geothermal applications, this refers to heat transfer in solids where thermal energy flows via microscopic-submicroscopic collisions of particles, which at a macro level is seen as solid-state diffusion. A vertical conductive thermal gradient is linear...
Word of the Week – Convection
Convection Refers to heat transfer by fluid circulation in permeable rocks where thermal energy is transported with the flow of hot fluid (water or steam).
Word of the Week – Cooling Tower
Cooling Tower Plant equipment that is used to dissipate heat into air rather than into a river. Cooling is induced in two different ways. For binary plants, dry cooling towers use fans to draw air across a heat exchanger and this removes heat from a working fluid...
