Systems for Generating Energy from Geothermal Sources and Methods of Operating and Constructing Same
Publication number: 20250101962Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and a method for generating energy from geothermal sources. The system includes an injection well and a production well extending underground into a rock formation, a first lateral section connected to the injection well and a second lateral section connected to the production well, the first and second lateral sections connected with a multilateral connector, defining a pressure-tested downhole well loop within the rock formation and in a heat transfer arrangement therewith. The downhole well loop cased in steel and cemented in place within the rock formation. The downhole well loop to receive working fluid capable of undergoing phase change between liquid and gas within the downhole well loop as a result of heat transferred from the rock formation. The system also includes a pump to circulate working fluid, a turbine system to convert the flow of working fluid into electricity, and a cooler.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: Roda Energy CorporationInventors: Curtis Cook, Shane Engelking, Neal Gartner, Jeff Peterson -
