Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper analyzes the technical solutions, economic feasibility and institutional aspects of geothermal energy use in a district heating system by retrofitting wells on a mature oil field based on the case study. The objective is to describe institutional procedures for brine production from the mature oil field. The research methodology includes the well data and the condition of the existing oil infrastructure analysis, to evaluate the brine production possibility. The methodology also analyzes existing hydrocarbon contracts. Institutional steps to obtain a geothermal concession on the brownfields are proposed. The hypothesis assumes that, with the legislation change, a vertical distribution of concessions for simultaneous production of oil and brine is achievable. The conclusion brings the novelty of this paper as the provision of guidelines for the development of the projects and the start of the production of brine from a mature oil field for the investors and the legal authorities.

成熟油田地热卤水开采的监管和经济挑战

摘要:本文以某成熟油田井改造为例，分析了地热能在区域供热系统中的技术方案、经济可行性和制度方面的问题。目的是描述从成熟油田生产盐水的制度程序。研究方法包括井资料和现有石油基础设施状况分析，以评估卤水生产的可能性。该方法还分析了现有的油气合约。提出了在棕地获得地热特许权的制度步骤。该假设假设，随着立法的变化，同时生产石油和盐水的特许权的垂直分布是可以实现的。本文的结论具有一定的新颖性，可为投资商和法律部门提供项目开发和成熟油田开始生产卤水的指导方针。
