drilling in North Central Texas is currently predominantly in the Barnett shale formation, averaging 7,000 to 8,000 feet. Beneath the Barnett shale formation, lays the Ellenberger limestone, which has temperatures in the 200 to 250 ̊F range and can produce water volumes in the 20,000 to 50,000 barrels per day range, based on injection well capacity. In short, all of the areas studied, while yielding different results, showed remarkable promise for geothermal energy potential. In addition to the report detailing the extensive work done collecting, collating, and analyzing temperature data from oil and gas wells, we have included information from four conferences hosted by SMU on ‘Geothermal Energy Utilization Associated with Oil and Gas Development’. As mentioned, a successful development of this resource requires an appreciation for the business potential as well as the geologic potential, which these conferences sought to combine. The full archive of the conference presentations and related papers are posted on the SMU Geothermal Laboratory website. Additionally, the website contains information developed to assist companies starting a geothermal project and a list of resources to contact for assistance. The outcome of the temperature assessment work and the outreach projects, such as the conferences and web resources, has led to several projects in our general area reaching development stage. Among them: Universal GeoPower LLC and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have a geothermal demonstration project in Liberty county, near Houston, designed to generate 250 KW of power using a watered-out and abandoned oil well from a Pratt & Whitney binary generation system. Louisiana Geothermal LLC and the DOE have a second demonstration project in Cameron Parish. Gulf Coast Green Energy, with a grant from the Renewable Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA), is deploying an ElectraTherm Green Machine in Jones County, MS on a Denbury Resources Inc. owned well that is expected to generate 30-50 KW. Hilcorp Energy Company and Cleco Power LLC are in development on a project in western Louisiana, also using the ElectraTherm Green Machine. The GeoPower Texas Company has acquired Texas General Land Office geothermal leases for development of off-shore wells near Galveston, Brazoria, and Matagorda Counties. Conclusion: The next five years will be crucial to gain enough momentum to establish a geothermal industry in Texas. There are currently over 200,000 active wells in Texas. That is 200,000 potential sources of cost-competitive, renewable, baseload, clean energy to Texans. We have a window of opportunity to leverage our state’s investment in the oil and gas industry while the economic forces, political pressures, and available technology are aligned towards a common goal of renewable energy. Additional resources of time and dollars would be well spent on exploiting the geothermal energy potential of Texas. ivPDF Image | Texas Geothermal Assessment for the I35 Corridor
