Developing existing hydrocarbon fields into geothermal electrical production has the quickest 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. There will be initially high costs for development that will then decrease as technology, knowledge, and market growth improve. Texas has the resources to be one of the proving grounds for EGS through use of deep sedimentary basins, and in doing so, decrease the initial EGS drilling and reservoir engineering 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 geopressured 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 geothermal projects. With the EGS projects currently under development in Australia, Europe, and western United States, an EGS project development in Texas is definitely viable. Along with the use of EGS resources in South Texas for electrical production, the geothermal resource can be used to increase the production of heavy oil. The areas for EGS are collocated with the heavy-oil reservoirs. The ability to cascade the use of the produced 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 scalability and development in configurations that are either distributed or centralized. Geothermal power plants have a very small footprint and therefore can be installed as part of a neighborhood, or a commercial building. This could directly reduce the usual 59% of the electricity normally lost to generation, transmission, and distribution10. 10 2006, http://www.eia.doe.gov/. 56PDF Image | Texas Geothermal Assessment for the I35 Corridor
