A heat transfer systems to access more cost effective heating and cooling Temperature extremes and high energy prices are causing economic and health risks in multiple countries including India. Many people either do not have access to air conditioning or they cannot afford the cost of electricity required. One potential […]

A range of heat transfer systems to access heating and cooling With higher costs for energy required for heating or cooling, other options than the use of electricity or carbon based fuels are available. Shallow Geothermal Energy involves extracting heat or cooling from the relatively shallow subsurface using heat pumps. […]
For remote, power intensive Extractive or Hydrocarbon Processing Sites For remote, power intensive Extractive (Mining), Hydrocarbon Processing, or Industrial sites, sometimes there might be an opportunity to install large scale hybrid renewable energy solutions. Combining Solar PV, Wind, and perhaps Geothermal could offer a resilient energy mix, able to better […]
Geothermal Energy resources are found in tens of thousands of locations, however not all locations are conveniently located close to suitable electrical utility grids with good feed-in tariffs. One option is to use the electricity to produce some form of Green Hydrogen for road, rail, or pipeline export to market. […]
Off grid or Bad grid Standalone Power Systems (SPS) Off grid or bad grid Standalone Power Systems can utilise hybrid Solar PV and Hydrogen power solutions to provide economic, environmentally sustainable clean Renewable Energy systems. In some locations, the Solar PV can be supplemented by Wind Turbines. For locations with […]
Potential for Geothermal, CCS, EOR/EGR, and Energy Storage End of life, depleted hydrocarbon, porous formations, either sedimentary or naturally fractured systems, are valuable assets with existing data and infrastructure potentially able to be repurposed for hybrid redevelopments. Additional value is able to be investigated and captured with potential combinations of […]
Another type of reservoir potentially able to be used to capture Geothermal Energy is naturally fractured geological systems. Significantly recognised for potential hydrocarbon production over the past decade, some of these reservoirs may have good effective permeability to be repurposed later to facilitate the circulation of heat transfer fluids for […]
An eye opening The Economist article perfectly matching our own research in current non ESG and high Polluting industries investment and debt raising patterns. Signficant non public investment will make matters worse for the #environment, #climatechange since no disclosure/reporting may lead to extraction of #hydrocarbons in ways which are more polluting. We very much agree with Larry […]
The next CCS example in SE Asia to be discussed is the BP Tangguh project in Indonesia. A giant depleted gas reservoir is planned for carbon sequestration along with Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR). Significant CO2 emissions from the LNG facilities will be captured and injected into the nearby Vorwata reservoir.
Some very good projects are being developed in South East Asia involving high CO2 gas reservoirs and the use of Carbon Capture and Storage of these potential emissions in nearby depleted gas reservoirs. The first example is Repsol’s Sakakemang project in Sumatra Indonesia.

In the right circumstances, CCS and EOR can be linked to sequester significant amounts of CO2 (up to ~100mmscfd / 2 MTA) and extract additional amounts of residual oil (up to ~50mmbo in some places). Finding the right large low BTU reservoir and then locating a large residual oil reservoir […]
