Computer Technology Simulation towards Power Generation Potential from Coproduced Fluids in South Lokichar Oil Fields

Abstract

The concept of coproduction reflects an opportunity through which geothermal electricity could be produced from the exploitation of oilfield infrastructure. This concept has evolved due to scholarly affirmations that coproduction tends to counter the costs associated with the drilling of new wells, having abandoned previously mature wells. Also, the costs of drilling new wells are seen to arise from coproduced fluids’ existence as a nuisance to oilfield operations. The proposed project seeks to evaluate the feasibility and profitability of coproduction practice implementation in South Lokichar oil fields, with a case study approach on the focus.
