Electrical energy production system from non- conventional geothermal source in formations at prevalent vapour based on the fact it is composed by a geothermic well made up with a heat pump integrated in the depth of the well, the mentioned heat pump is composed by extended concentric pipes system, the bigger diameter duct of which is used for the thermic exchange and the rising of the transport fluid heat and the small diameter duct operating for the transport fluid from outside up to its lower extremity.

A method for controlling temperature maxima and minima from the heel to toe in geothermal well lateral sections. The method includes disposing at least a pair of wells proximately where thermal contact is possible. Working fluid is circulated in one well of the pair in one direction and the working fluid of the second well is circulated in as direction opposite. to the first. In this manner temperature equilibration is attainable to mitigate maxima and minima to result in a substantially more uniform temperature of the working fluids in respective wells and the rock formation area there between. Specific operating protocol is disclosed having regard to the temperature control for maximizing thermal energy recovery.

Wellbore synthesis techniques are disclosed suitable for use in geothermal applications. Embodiments are provided where open hole drilled wellbores are sealed while drilling to form an impervious layer at the wellbore/formation interface. The techniques may be chemical, thermal, mechanical, biological and are fully intended to irreversibly damage the formation in terms of the permeability thereof. With the permeability negated, the wellbore may be used to create a closed loop surface to surface geothermal well operable in the absence of well casing for maximizing thermal transfer to a circulating working fluid. Formulations for the working and drilling fluids are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a geothermal heat exchange system and a method of constructing a geothermal heat exchange system, and more specifically, to a geothermal heat exchange system which is to be installed in a borehole in the ground, the borehole being divided into a ground surface section and a shallow geothermal source section, the shallow geothermal source section of the borehole, which is hardly influenced by the atmospheric or ground surface temperatures, is filled with conventional heat conductive grouting material with high thermal conductivity, and the ground surface section of the borehole is filled with thermal insulation grouting material or thermal insulation cartridges to prevent the heat transferring medium in the geothermal heat exchange system, which has the geothermal heat obtained from the shallow geothermal source, from losing heat in the winter time or obtaining heat in the summer time when it passes through the ground surface section which is much influenced by the atmospheric or ground surface temperatures, thereby a geothermal heat exchange system that can increase the acquisition rate of geothermal energy, and a method of constructing the geothermal heat exchange system.

A system includes a power unit, and a coiled tubing (CT) reel for spooling a CT string. The system includes a CT injector for injecting the CT string from a surface into a subsurface to construct a geothermal borehole. The CT injector includes a gooseneck for guiding the CT string into a body of the CT injector. The system includes a first arm for coupling the CT reel and the power unit. The system includes a second arm for coupling the CT injector and the power unit. The system is configured to modify the distance between the CT reel and the gooseneck by adjusting at least one of (i) the length of the first arm or (ii) the length of the second arm.

A geothermal system is used for obtaining heated heat transfer fluid, such as steam, via heat transfer with an underground reservoir of magma. The geothermal system includes a wellbore extending between a surface and into an underground chamber formed in a reservoir of magma. The chamber may be formed by injecting a fluid at an increased pressure into underground magma to form a cavity that acts as the underground chamber.
