Water issues for hot dry rock geothermal power generation at Moomba

Water issues for hot dry rock geothermal power generation at Moomba

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: B.T. Armstrong and S.S. Rahman
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

The use and availability of water is one of the key issues for the Moomba hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal power generation project in the Cooper Basin, South Australia. This study estimates the volume of water required during the development life-cycle...

Authors: L. Kramer, D.M. McKirdy, K.R. Arouri, L. Schwark and D. Leythaeuser
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

The Strzelecki oil and gas field is located on the southern margin of the Nappamerri Trough, a major hydrocarbon kitchen in the Cooper/Eromanga petroleum province of central Australia. Its oil-bearing sandstones (Hutton, Birkhead, Namur) are all of M...

Horizontal microfractures and core discing in sandstone reservoirs, Cooper Basin, Australia

Horizontal microfractures and core discing in sandstone reservoirs, Cooper Basin, Australia

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: T. Flottmann, D.J. Campagna, R. Hillis and D. Warner
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

Core discing is common in gas wells in the Cooper Basin, central Australia. The occurrence of discing is consistent with the high in situ horizontal stresses that prevail in the basin. Thin sections in intervals of disced core reveal the occurrence o...

Cambro-Ordovician conodont biostratigraphy and thermal maturation of the eastern Warburton Basin, South Australia

Cambro-Ordovician conodont biostratigraphy and thermal maturation of the eastern Warburton Basin, South Australia

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: X. Sun and R.S. Nicoll
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

The Warburton Basin has been one of the least studied Early Palaeozoic basins in Australia. The recent recovery of Late Cambrian and Early Ordovician conodonts from cores in four wells, Charo-1, Coongie-1, Wantana-1 and Packsaddle-!, have confirmed t...

The in situ stress field of the Cooper Basin and its implications for hot dry rock geothermal energy development

The in situ stress field of the Cooper Basin and its implications for hot dry rock geothermal energy development

Publication Name: PESA's Eastern Australasian Basin Symposium II
Authors: S.D. Reynolds, S.D. Mildren, R.R. Hillis and J.J. Meyer
Reference Type: Book Section
Date Published: December 2004

 

Abstract:

Hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal energy resources are currently being investigated in the Cooper Basin, an area with a high geothermal gradient. The in situ stress field and natural fracture network are critical to the design of the subsurface circulati...

Technical articles: Burial history of the Cooper Basin region in South Australia

Publication Name: PESA Journal No. 24
Authors: Reza Moussavi-Harami
Reference Type: Journal Article
Date Published: December 1996

 

Abstract:

The intracratonic Cooper Basin of east-central Australia was formed during the Late Carboniferous (about 285 Ma). It underlies the central Eromanga and Lake Eyre Basins, and the entire succession ranges from Late Carboniferous to Recent in age. Buria...
