Methods for generating geothermal power in an organic Rankine cycle operation during hydrocarbon production based on working fluid temperature

Systems and methods for generating and a controller for controlling generation of geothermal power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation in the vicinity of a wellhead during hydrocarbon production to thereby supply electrical power to one or more of in-field operational equipment, a grid power structure, and an energy storage device.
