In several countries, there are oil fields with hot water production along with oil and gas; in the fields where the hot water temperature is greater than 80 °C, takes advantage to generate electrical power through the Geothermal Binary Cycle (GBC) technology. The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) has developed a program to test low- temperature power generation through co-produced oilfield fluids. In the Tensleep formation, the average production temperature was between 195 °F (90,6 °C) and 200 °F (93,3 °C), they installed a 250 kW power plant with an “Organic Rankine Cycle” (ORC) standard design at the Teapot Dome Oil Field, Naval Petroleum Reserve N° 3 (NPR – 3) in Wyoming. The Organic Rankine Cycle power unit, was designed to use 40 MBPD of water produced at 170 °F (76,7 °C), put into service in September 2008 [7]. China, in Huabei oilfield’s LB oil reservoir, generates electrical power; the temperature of the produced fluids is between 120 °C and 110 °C. A “Binary Screw Expander” system had was installed as a 400 kW power generator in April 2011 [15]. In 2009, Austrian company RAG drilled the Mühlleiten ML-002 exploratory well near Neukirchen a.d. Vöckla, but it was not successful. The well is 2 850 m deep and has a temperature of 105 °C at the bottom. In 2012, the well was turned into a deep “geothermal probe” with a basic yield of 3 500 MWh per year. In Germany, two abandoned oil wells in the Landau area in the upper Rin valley, have been turned into deep “geothermal probes”. The first has a bottom temperature of 80 °C and approximate 920 m depth. This probe currently generates about 88 kW thermal energy. The second well exhibits a temperature of about 80 °C at the bottom and has 797 m depth. The system yield is about 80 kW of thermal energy [4]. They are examples of countries that take advantage of the temperature of co-produced hot water in oil fields to generate electrical power. In the Peruvian jungle, enormous volumes of hot water are produced along with oil, where the temperature of the extracted fluids in wellhead is around 100 °C, usable temperature to generate electrical power through “Geothermal Binary Cycle” technology; without fuel consumption, as is being developed in other countries worldwide. When developing this technology, it would replace some of the electric power generators plants installed in the jungle oil fields. In the jungle oilfields, the electric generators engines use fuel (diesel); however, the Geothermal Binary Cycle system does not use fuel for electric generation, which will mitigate the environmental impact and the greenhouse effect. The present thesis work attempts how to take advantage of the extraction fluids temperatures in the Corrientes area, Block 8 oilfield, where the average water production is than 98 % water cut, to generate electrical power through of the “Geothermal Binary Cycle” technology. In the future, when this oilfield reaches the economic deficit of petroleum extraction and the field has to be abandoned, this system can be used to supply electric power to the native communities existing in the area and to the foreign populations that were founded, near of the oil fields. Taking advantage of all the built infrastructures, both in surface and subsoil (well).
