“…The cost of energy production still remains a challenge to businesses as well as the entire community. Enhanced geothermal energy can be produced domestically, therefore ensuring security for energy supply for domestic applications [95]. Enhanced geothermal energy is not directly linked to any extra cost like land…”

“…The capex of the wells introduced by van Wees et al where is a variable representing the well scaling factor, Z° is the measured depth (TVD) and costs are calculated in million euros. was chosen to be 1.72 for the calculations, following Daniilidis et al (2017b). We also assume that the cost of horizontal well drilling is analogous to that for a vertical well.…”

Geothermal projects, as renewable energy projects, are not economically attractive in most places of the world at the current state of development; for this reason, subsidies are required by energy and environmental authorities in order to increase the interest in such projects. In this paper, we assess and model strategies for integration of geothermal energy with oil productions of the Moerkapelle oil field in the Netherlands. To do so, numerical simulations have been employed to analyse the feasibility of a fluvial oil reservoir for the synergy potential of oil and geothermal energy exploitation. In order to implement the simulation studies, single phase and two-phase non-isothermal fluid flow modelling are utilised for the geothermal well doublet system and for water flooding in an oil reservoir (including facies heterogeneity), respectively. A series of simulations have been conducted to investigate how hot water from a geothermal reservoir beneath a heavy oil reservoir in the fluvial sedimentary system of the West Netherlands Basin can be used for Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (TEOR) and geothermal energy production.This study finds that the high degree of heterogeneity in fluvial oil reservoirs could significantly affect oil recovery improvement and hence the synergy strategy. High values of a) Net to gross (N/G) b) Bottom Hole Pressure (BHP) and c) horizontal wellbore length are favourable for oil recovery. In contrast, wide horizontal wellbore spacing and oil viscosity have an adverse effect on oil recovery enhancement. Furthermore, the results display that the enhanced oil production helps to reduce the required subsidy for a single doublet geothermal project up to 100 %. Consequently, the extra amount of oil produced by utilising the geothermal energy, could make the geothermal business case independent and profitable.

“…Mroczek et al (2017) described the water consumption in geothermal fields and assessed the potential risks of the injection of geothermal water. Daniilidis et al (2017) designed a model predictive control strategy to measure the geothermal water and energy consumption in the heat production of a geothermal system in order to couple the heat networks and achieve sustainable geothermal adoption.…”

Rapid urbanization has resulted in severe demands on water, heat and energy resources, which threaten the sustainability of the urban economy and environment. Geothermal energy is one of the cleanest sources of energy, and it plays an important role in the sustainability of the regional economy and environment. This paper employs the vector autoregressive (VAR) model to assess the effects of water, heat and energy consumption on geothermal adoption and the interactions among these factors. Beijing is chosen as a case study to investigate the water-heat-energy nexus and examination of the relationship between geothermal adoption and the regional economy. The results reveal that water consumption has mainly affected geothermal adoption. Water consumption and energy consumption have negative effects on geothermal adoption, while the centralized heat supply has a positive effect on geothermal adoption. This paper also adopts a gear model and coupling coordination degrees to investigate the relationship between geothermal adoption and the regional economy. The rates of geothermal adoption and the regional economy vary, but they are in a good state of coupling coordination. In addition, the coupling coordination of geothermal adoption and the regional economy has the potential to improve.
