Tenaris showcased its complete vary of services on the World Geothermal Congress, a premier world geothermal occasion which passed off in Beijing, China, September 15-17, 2023.
Through the technical program, Tenaris’s specialists introduced two papers highlighting the corporate’s progressive approaches to geothermal effectively design.
Geothermal vitality is a priceless renewable useful resource. Environment friendly harnessing requires exact engineering, significantly in drilling new wells close to present productive ones. Tenaris Properly Design Options Senior Supervisor Raffaello Zambetti introduced the methods for extending feasibility in effectively design beneath difficult geomechanical and thermal hundreds within the Larderello area in Italy.
The Larderello area is well-known for its excessive enthalpy geothermal wells. Given the presence of extremely productive wells close by, the design for a brand new effectively has further challenges, significantly in shallower sections. The warmth movement from adjoining wells must be thought-about, therefore limiting the engineering to standard casing design could also be insufficient. “To deal with this concern and improve casing design, we utilized a novel methodology to combine thermal load strain-based design with the normal working stress design, permitting for a more practical utilization of geothermal vitality,” identified Zambetti.
As for deep geothermal wells, Tenaris Technical Gross sales Supervisor David Hernández Morales introduced Tenaris’s answer to new challenges in casing design, which is poised to cut back operational time and drilling prices.
“Drilling deeper geothermal wells within the Cerro Prieto area, Baja California, Mexico, required a reengineering of the number of the casing setting depth with a brand new effectively construction, by incorporating a contingency casing, a brand new diameter utilizing an integral connection. To beat this problem, we efficiently examined corrosion resistant supplies,” defined Morales.
With greater than 30 years of expertise in supplying casing for particular geothermal drilling challenges, Tenaris can present tailor-made options, whereas maximizing the protection and effectivity of shoppers’ operations.
