The Geysers:an Injection Success Story M. Ali Khan
The Location Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources – State of California
The Problem Rapid Steam Production Decline
The Solution Illustration courtesy of Northern California Power Agency
The Results Steam Production is Stabilized
Incremental Electricity Southeast Geysers
Injection & Induced Seismicity >1.5 (ML) EQ Count/yr
Induced Seismicity 2005 - 2010, >1.5 (ML)
1,700 psi Caprock 1,200 m Reservoir 150 psi
Conclusions • Additional Green Electricity • Innovative Sewage Disposal • Cleaner Air Emission • Induced Seismicity • 50 Years Production; added another 50 • Added 200+ MWe
Say Cheese… Motion Sensor Camera is on! Thank you!
Nevertheless, the huge kettle lived happily After the shotgun date, with recycled waste Underneath The Geysers, a mile deep A huge tea-kettle was in superheat Piped-in, to inflate, and re-hydrate Enthalpy was a little downer, of late Plenty of micro earthquakes and shakes Scaring everybody, but no faults or breaks Green energy from Flush to Flash Once again, Phoenix rises from ash Rescue came from treated human waste From the counties of Sonoma and Lake Approaching single phase and no mate Beyond saturation point, in dry-out state
