  • comprehensive approach to oil Well Drilling Cost estimation
    AFRREV STECH: An International Journal of Science and Technology, 2012
    Co-Authors: C I Anyadiegwu
    Abstract:

    The comprehensive approach to oil Well Drilling Cost estimation was presented. A formular was derived from the existing Drilling Cost estimation formulae that considered a parameter known as host community Cost (HCC), which was introduced into the existing formula to make it more comprehensive. The host community Cost included; Cost of acquiring the location, Cost of provision of basic amenities, Cost of access road to the location, and Cost of settlement of unrest within the community. An excel spreadsheet was also developed based on the comprehensive formular that can estimate the Drilling Cost. It was discovered that the comprehensive formular if adopted provides room for the effective implementation of the Drilling program, helps in rural development, improves host community versus company relationship and finally saves time and Cost. Keywords : rotary Drilling, oil rig, oil Well, drill bit, Cost estimation, host community, excel spreadsheet, basic amenities

  • estimating low enthalpy geothermal energy potential for district heating in santiago basin chile 33 5 s
    Renewable Energy, 2015
    Co-Authors: Mauricio Munoz, Pablo Garat, Valentina Floresaqueveque, Gabriel Vargas, Sofia Rebolledo, Sergio A Sepulveda, Linda Daniele, Diego Morata, Miguel Angel Parada
    Abstract:

    This work presents the results of a regional-scale estimation of low-enthalpy geothermal resources for district heating in the Santiago basin. The purpose of this work is to identify promising areas for the development of this type of renewable energy. The estimation was based on comparison of soil thermal properties and hydrogeological parameters, using Geographic Information System (GIS). To determine the geothermal potential, Ground Source Heat Exchanger (GSHE) coupled with heat pump was used to supply a fixed demand equivalent to the energy required to heat a Chilean standard house. The main barrier for the implementation of a GSHE coupled with heat pump is the Well Drilling Cost, therefore the potential is presented as meters to be drilled in order to install 2 types of GSHE: 1) Borehole Heat Exchanger (BHE) and 2) Groundwater Heat Exchanger (GWHE). To assess the BHE, we used specific Heat Extraction (sHE) of sediments. To evaluate a GWHE, we used depth of groundwater table and groundwater drawdown caused by pumping water to the heat pump. The depth to be drilled ranges from 35 to 105 m in case of the BHE, while in case of the GWHE it ranges from 10 to 400 m.
