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 -

Publication number: 20070125280Abstract: Blow molded plastic structures are provided for use in various structures such as, but not limited to, tables, chairs, walls, backboards, storage bins, sports equipment and the like. The blow molded plastic structure has a first surface and a second surface extending between a first end and a second end and forming a chamber there between. A plurality of depressions is formed on the second surface and extends into the chamber. The depressions are usually unitary structures formed by a depression wall. Generally, the steeper the depression wall, the more strength is provided to the structure. In addition, where the plurality of depressions has a low profile and a greater density, increased strength is provided to the structure. The depressions may or may not be joined to the first surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 5, 2007Publication date: June 7, 2007Inventors: Martin Neunzert, Ed Vannimwegen, Curtis Cook, L.
