Claim 0:
1. A system for generating power in an organic processing heat operation in the vicinity of a drilling rig during drilling operations, the system comprising:
a drilling fluid container to store an amount of drilling fluid;
a container pipe positioned in fluid communication with the drilling fluid container;
a drilling fluid pump positioned in fluid communication with the container pipe;
a drilling fluid pipe connected to the drilling fluid pump so that the drilling fluid pump pumps drilling fluid through the drilling fluid pipe;
a drill string including a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the drill string connected to the drilling fluid pipe, the drill string configured having an inner cavity through which the drilling fluid flows;
a drill bit connected to the distal end of the drill string and positioned to rotate based on rotation of the drill string and flow of the drilling fluid;
a drilling fluid return pipe positioned above a subsurface geological formation to receive return of drilling fluid;
a heat exchanger connected to the drilling fluid return pipe and positioned to facilitate heat transfer from the drilling fluid to a working fluid flow; and
an organic processing heat unit to generate electrical power using heat from the working fluid flow.
