Using different technologies, there are four new geothermal power demonstrations currently underway. In Texas, there is a DOE demonstration in Liberty County, just north of Houston that is designed to generate 250 kW. The developer is Universal GeoPower LLC, and they will be using the PWPS PureCycle®. There is a second DOE demonstration along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana being developed by Louisiana Geothermal LLC. Using the ElectraTherm Green Machine there are two projects in this region. One is a RPSEA project in central Mississippi deployed by Gulf Coast Green Energy using a Denbury Resources well. The second is a project Hilcorp Energy Company and Cleco Utility Company are developing in western Louisiana. Both projects are expected to be 50 kW or less. The current technologies are based on either temperature or pressure or both for generating electricity. These power plants are small, easily transportable and efficient enough to produce small amounts of electricity; yet can be scaled-up to produce MWs. The purpose is to tap into small applications that have been previously overlooked by the large-scale power plant development companies. Texas has the capability to use the geothermal resources in large-scale (MWs) production: converting an entire oil field into a geothermal field, EGS projects, or geopressure-geothermal development. It is also prime for the start-up project for mini power plants (kWs) on low flow, low temperature sites. CONCLUSIONS Geothermal energy power production is a renewable baseload resource. Through reservoir engineering and proper management of the resource the necessary heat extraction can be maintained over decades and potentially for over a century. The use of sedimentary basins and geopressured formations are the initial entry points for companies in Texas to develop geothermal electrical production. Developing existing hydrocarbon fields into geothermal electrical production has the greatest potential for tapping into the thermal energy resource stored under Texas. The Future of Geothermal Report (Tester et al., 2006) suggests Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) could be a sustainable source of energy. The report explains there will be initially high costs for development that will then decrease as technology, knowledge and market growth improve. Texas has the ability to be one of the proving grounds for EGS through use of deep sedimentary basins, and in doing so, decrease the initial drilling and reservoir engineering 58
