expenses. The geothermal - geopressured zones in South Texas are where the heat flow and temperatures are highest in Texas. This is the area of highest temperatures reaching over 350°F at 12,000 feet, over 450°F at 19,000 feet, and over 500°F at 23,500 feet. Unlike the Gulf Coast geopressure areas, the amount of fluid available for production in South Texas at these depths is not quantified, but shallower depths have lower permeability. These deeper formations are a candidate for EGS rather than a low-temperature geothermal project because of the depth and low permeability. With the EGS projects currently under development in Australia, Europe, and western United States, the likelihood of an EGS project development in Texas viable. Along with the EGS resources in South Texas for electrical production, the geothermal resource can be used to increase the production of the heavy oil resource. The areas for EGS are collocated in the same vicinity as the heavy-oil reservoirs. The ability to cascade the use of the production water with other industries increases the economic viability of a project. The power plants are not able to extract all the heat from the fluid stream, leaving heat for other applications. Geopressured-geothermal resources can also be used for applications such as absorption chillers, desalination, agriculture, and aquaculture projects. Geothermal energy can be teamed with other renewable energies that are surface land space intensive. One advantage of the new less than 1 MW geothermal power plant technology is the capability of being scalable and developed in configurations that are either distributed or centralized. The fact that a geothermal power plant has a very small footprint and therefore can be installed as part of a neighborhood, or a commercial building, is why it is able to reduce the usual 59% of the electricity produced that is normally lost to generation, transmission, and distributions10. Using information from previously drilled oil and gas wells, tens of thousands of temperature data points can be used as an exploration tool for defining the most accessible resource locations. The data can be from well log records and corrected for in-situ temperatures, or pressure temperature data can be used as a proxy for equilibrium temperature. Although temperature at depth is only the initial starting point for reviewing potential resources, the extent of BHT data in Texas is huge with over 600,000 wells currently on record. This assessment shows that the general trend of temperatures in Texas is wide sweeping and that by 10,000 feet many areas are 10 2006, http://www.eia.doe.gov/. 59
