Subsurface System Design Issues and Approaches 5.3 Rock­Fluid Interactions 23 One of the big risk areas in the long­term operation of an EGS system is the potential change in the permeability and connectivity of the stimulated reservoir with time. The fluid injected may be a combination of water from surface or shallow ground water and water naturally occurring in the geothermal reservoir. It will be cooled by the energy conversion system. As a result, the circulated water will not be in equilibrium with the minerals in the rock. With time, these minerals may dissolve or minerals dissolved in the water may precipitate, changing the permeability of the rock over time. In enhanced oil­recovery projects, rock­fluid interactions have been of great importance over the life RH12Chapter 5 Figure 5.1 Vertical section viewed from the southwest showing downward growth of fractures (microseismic events) at Rosemanowes (Pine and Batchelor, 1983). 0° RH11 a 180° 5­5 While permeability of a fractured reservoir can be improved by increasing the injection pressure, there are two negative effects of increasing the throughput in this way: (i) fractures at higher pressures may be “jacked” open, allowing a few paths to dominate and short circuits to occur, and (ii) the critical pressure beyond which fracture growth occurs may be exceeded, extending the reservoir, allowing water to be lost to noncirculating parts of the reservoir and reducing the proportion of effective heat­transfer area. At Fenton Hill, high­injection pressures were used to maintain open fractures and improve permeability (Brown, 1988) However, the fractured volume continued to grow, water was lost from the circulating system, and new fractured volume was created that was not accessed by the wells. At Rosemanowes, trying to improve fracture permeability by increasing injection pressures resulted in growth of the fracture system but away from the inter­well region, exacerbating the water loss without improving the connectivity (see Figure 5.1).

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
