Some petroleum wells that are no longer productive still have heat in their formation rocks. Those heat can be extracted and utilized by injecting working fluid into the wellbore. The current study’s objective was to create a 2D numerical calculation program for transient flow temperatures inside the well then it was used to calculate the temperature distribution in oil and gas fields in the Arun field and BK Area. The injected fluids were modeled as a double-pipe heat exchanger. Heat transfer processes inside the wellbore were convection in the inner pipe and the annulus and conduction in the pipe walls and rock formations. The computational calculation used a finite difference method. The computation results were then compared with calculations from the literature. After being validated, the program was used to calculate the Arun field and BK Area temperature distributions. This study found that compared with the reference literature, the current results had a similar optimum temperature range of 130°C-160°C but had different profiles shape with an average deviation of 12%. In the Arun fields, simulation results indicated that the field could reach temperatures between 90°C-120°C and was classified as a medium-temperature geothermal source. BK Area could reach optimum temperatures between 50°C-80°C and be classified as the low-temperature geothermal.

This study aims to analyze the possibility of using geothermal energy as an alternative energy source for the egg incubator hatchery with capacity of 400 eggs. Geothermal resource used in the process of retrofitting has a temperature of 70°C with a maximum flow of 2 liters/s in accordance with the data of geothermal resources at Tangeung -Cibugur, Cianjur regency. Based on the results of the feasibility studies that have been done, the source of geothermal energy can be used for heating egg incubator in order to reach adequate incubation conditions (temperature 36 to 38.5 ° C and a relative humidity of 50-60%). In the process of retrofitting, the design of the incubator used is forced draft incubator. Its components are heat exchanger, fans, and a water tray. The type of heat exchanger that used is cross flow, one fluid mixed, one fluid unmixed. It uses a staggered arrangement of copper pipe as a heat exchange surface. Incubator with geothermal energy is well used by using 5 fans with volume flow rate 0,0094 -0,0141 m 3 /s on the condition of the inlet air temperature is 23-27°C and a minimum pipe temperature is 65°C.
