Tracer Developments: Results of Experimental Studies

Tracers can be used to monitor the movement of groundwaters and geothermal fluids and they can be used as a reference to quantify changes in fluid chemistry as a result of injection. Despite their potential importance to the geothermal operator, very few tracers are presently available and of those that are, little is known about their stability or behavior at the elevated temperatures that typify resources capable of electric power generation. During the past two years the University of Utah Research Institute has been involved in tracer research and testing, largely through the DOE Injection Research Program. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the results of these laboratory and field investigations.

Geothermal Two-Phase Wellbore Flow: Pressure Drop Correlations and Flow Pattern Transitions (open access)

Geothermal Two-Phase Wellbore Flow: Pressure Drop Correlations and Flow Pattern Transitions

In this paper we present some basic concepts of two-phase flow and review the Orkiszewski (1967) correlations which have been suggested by various investigators to perform well for geothermal wellbore flow situations. We also present a flow regime map based on the transition criteria used by Orkiszewski (1967) and show that most geothermal wells flow under slug flow regime. We have rearranged bubble- to slug-flow transition criterion used by Orkiszewski (1967) to show that the transition depends on the dimensionless pipe diameter number in addition to dimensionless liquid and gas velocity numbers. Our aim is also to identify what research may lead to improvements in two-phase pressure drop calculations for geothermal wellbore flow.

Pressure Profiles in Two-Phase Geothermal Wells: Comparison of Field Data and Model Calculations (open access)

Pressure Profiles in Two-Phase Geothermal Wells: Comparison of Field Data and Model Calculations

Increased confidence in the predictive power of two-phase correlations is a vital part of wellbore deliverability and deposition studies for geothermal wells. Previously, the Orkiszewski (1967) set of correlations has been recommended by many investigators to analyze geothermal wellbore performance. In this study, we use measured flowing pressure profile data from ten geothermal wells around the world, covering a wide range of flowrate, fluid enthalpy, wellhead pressure and well depth. We compare measured and calculated pressure profiles using the Orkiszewski (1967) correlations.

Reservoir Behaviour in a Stimulated Hot Dry Rock System (open access)

Reservoir Behaviour in a Stimulated Hot Dry Rock System

Research into the stimulation of hot dry rock (HDR) systems in crystalline rock has been underway in Cornwall, England for several years. Two deviated wells were drilled to a depth of 2100 m in 1981 with an interwell separation of 300 m. These wells were connected by massive hydraulic injections using water, but the interconnection was insufficient to permit long term circulation without excessive water losses. In 1985 a third well was drilled to a depth of 2600 m in a direction chosen from the analysis of the reservoir behavior during the previous circulation. A massive stimulation (200 l/s, 75 bbl/min) of gel was used to connect the wells and circulation was re-established in August 1985. Reservoir models have been developed from hydraulic analyses, thermal behavior, microseismic mapping, tracer dispersion and chemical modeling. The system behaves like an interconnected network of flow paths with a few dominant routes acting as flow conduits. The storage is associated with pressure dependent joint compliance, but it is isolated from the dominant flow paths. No unique physical model has yet been derived but the various techniques have been used to establish constraints on the geometry and nature of the heat transfer regions. The experiments …
