Naturally fractured reservoirs: Optimized E and P strategies using a reaction-transport-mechanical simulator in an integrated approach. Summary of project accomplishments; Final report, September 30, 1998

Description: Major accomplishments of this project occurred in three primary categories: (1) fractured reservoir location and characteristics prediction for exploration and production planning; (2) implications of geologic data analysis and synthesis for exploration and development programs; and (3) fractured reservoir production modeling. The results in each category will be discussed in turn. Seven detailed reports have been processed separately.

Reliability benefits of dispersed wind resource development

Description: Generating capacity that is available during the utility peak period is worth more than off-peak capacity. Wind power from a single location might not be available during enough of the peak period to provide sufficient value. However, if the wind power plant is developed over geographically disperse locations, the timing and availability of wind power from these multiple sources could provide a better match with the utility's peak load than a single site. There are other issues that arise when … more

Geothermal chemistry/exploration investigations at Dixie Valley, Nevada

Description: Dixie Valley geothermal field has continuously produced electric power since 1988. At the request of Oxbow Geothermal Corp. and the US Department of Energy, the authors have organized an inter-agency team of investigators to examine several topics of concern regarding management and behavior of the resource. These topics include scaling of the injection system, recharge of the reservoir, geochemical monitoring of the reservoir, and development of increased fumarolic activity north of the power … more

The role of science and technology for energy and the environment

Description: The premise of this paper is that science, and the technology derived from science, is not the answer to energy and environmental problems. Science is a method of answering questions and as modern societies people must be very careful and specific in posing those questions. Many of the environmental issues addressed at the meeting are the direct result of not being specific enough in the demands placed on the science community. For example, when science was asked to increase chemical production… more

Reserve and production data for the Andector Field area, Central Basin Platform, West Texas: Data for model constraint and development

Description: The integrated model under development will ultimately predict reservoir properties, volumes, fluid content, and fluid composition (water, oil, and gas). Oil properties are presented here for use in subsequent flow models. To further constrain and verify these predictions, production history data, reservoir geometry, and well test data are used to map the initial potential, remaining reserves, and maximum non allowable limited production rates of the Andector Field. Historic bottom hole pressur… more
