Numerical analysis and optimization of the performance of CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG) production wells and implications for electric power generation

Justin Ezekiel et al.

Summary: CO2-Plume Geothermal (CPG) power plants can produce heat and/or electric power, with the CO2 mass flowrate being a crucial parameter for system design. The flowrate not only determines power generation, but also has a significant impact on fluid pressure drawdown and two-phase flow regime in the production well.

Simulating Plasma Formation in Pores under Short Electric Pulses for Plasma Pulse Geo Drilling (PPGD)

Mohamed Ezzat et al.

Summary: Plasma Pulse Geo Drilling (PPGD) is a contact-less drilling technique that uses plasma generation to cause rock fracturing. The success of PPGD drilling operations depends on specific electrode spacings, pulse voltages, and pulse rise times. The likelihood of rock fracturing increases with increasing pore voltage drop, pore size, electric pulse voltage, and rock effective relative permittivity, while decreasing with rock porosity and pulse rise time.
