Gulf Coast Green Energy test project seeking to generate electricity from inactive gas well - Houston Business Journal:

will extract geo-fluid — essentially hot saltwater from a nonproducing natural gas well and run it through a heat exchanger before dumping it back into a disposal well, creating electricity in the process. The projectt is part of a series of federall contracts awarded through the Research Partnershipo to Secure Energy for a Sugar Land nonprofit dedicated in part to advancingh technology in maturing oil andgas fields.
RPSEz will chip in about $150,000 to matcg a similar amount put up by the company fora three-yeatr test on a nonproducing Loy Sneary, president and CEO of Gulf Coast Green, says bringing a dead well back to life servexs a dual purpose by providing electric powedr and sparking a new revenue stream. “It’s very attractive for ownerss of wells thatare nonproducing,” Snearyu says. “If a well produces electricity for 15 to 20 yearzs that just reducesyour risk. If you hit a dry it reduces your risk.
” Mike president of RPSEA, says the systen could help offsetoperating “Wells that are somewhat marginal are very susceptiblew to operating costs,” says Ming. “Idf you want to increase recoverh from wells and increase well life you can do that by loweringy your baselineoperating cost. This offsets purchases of electricitg fromexternal sources, so it effectively lowerx your operating costs.” Excess electricity from a well clos e enough to transmission infrastructure could be sold back to the “If you generate electricity on-site you’r negating the need to buy electricity from says Ming.

Says Ming: “Our selection committee was really enthusiastic about thisparticular project.” Sneary says the test project will likely take place in Mississippi.
