Challenges with Co-Produced Fluids There are a number of variables in co-produced fluids that have limited the technology from being adapted on such a vast resource. From the beginning of the demonstration, we were able to prepare for expected challenges, as well as adapt to unexpected challenges that arose during the process. The project was a success in that it proved educational in developing improvements and minimizing troubleshooting for future opportunities. For this report, we will provide a simple summary of the challenges anticipated with power generation through co-produced fluids, and further in the report we will detail the challenges as experienced at the Laurel site and how ElectraTherm overcame and optimized each situation. Distributed Small Wells One obvious challenge is the small size and distributed nature of the wells. Typical oil production does not lend itself to high volumes of water flows or the desired 250°F+ temperatures for traditional heat recovery technology. For this reason, large scale power production at these heats and flows is not an option, and has limited the opportunities for power generation at co-produced sites. Geothermal Brine Corrosion and mineral build-up comes naturally from geothermal brine being pumped from the earth. These corrosive fluids can cause build-up and clogging in many heat exchangers, and require constant heat exchanger cleaning that takes extensive amounts of time, man power and down time. Installation and Operation at Remote Locations Oil and gas wells are littered across the country, often in remote, off-the-beaten path and with limited access to roads or services. This proves difficult and expensive for onsite construction. Most operations located on well sites require major machinery that is large, heavy and immobile. Moving equipment around and adding ancillary machinery to remote sites can be costly and not a high priority for businesses whose primary objective is producing oil and natural gas. Operating personnel and service support are additional challenges at remote locations. Without readily accessible service technicians, troubleshooting, added downtime and travel can become costly. Economics Until now, the economics for power generation off waste heat at the well heads hasn’t been attractive. Cost of power in many US markets with oil and gas wells can range as low as $.08/kWh, and ROI can well-exceed eight years; not attractive for most oil and gas producers. Additionally, since the primary task of oil and gas producers is oil and gas production, generating electricity off waste heat can fall behind on the list of priorities. The accumulation of the above challenges has greatly limited power generation research and development at oil & gas wells to this point, and for good reason. Without a modular, robust, low maintenance and economical solution to present to oil and gas producers, utilizing a power generator solely for the environmental benefits will have limited acceptance.
