Dynamic Earth Energy Storage: Terawatt-year, Grid-scale Energy Storage Using Planet Earth as a Thermal Battery (GeoTES): Phase I Project Final Report

Final report for the DOE GTO funded research on geologic thermal energy storage (GeoTES), or commonly known as reservoir thermal energy storage (RTES). 

The results described in this report shed light on various aspects of RTES including project siting, operational performance, mitigation of both subsurface and surface infrastructure issues, and system longevity. Additionally, the reviews of international projects provide valuable lessons associated with exploration, initiation, operation, and sustainable maintenance of RTES. Overall site characterization, THM modeling, risk evaluation, and flexible operations are key aspects to a suitable RTES project. Geochemical modeling supported by laboratory experiments show that understanding the intricacies in brine chemistry and fluid evolution within changing thermal and pressure environments is important because resultant diagenetic reactions and subsequent scaling exist even in unexpected scenarios. Thermo-hydro-chemical (THC) and THM modeling with MOOSE and TOUGH also inform the potential for hydrogeological and geochemical changes within the reservoir and best operational parameters over the life of an RTES system. The results of this study help define future RTES research projects that will facilitate successful future deployment of such systems and make RTES a more viable option for energy storage in the U.S.

Machine Learning-Assisted High-Temperature Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage Optimization: Numerical Modeling and Machine Learning Input and Output Files

This data set includes the numerical modeling input files and output files used to synthesize data, and the reduced-order machine learning models trained from the synthesized data for reservoir thermal energy storage site identification. 

In this study, a machine-learning-assisted computational framework is presented to identify High-Temperature Reservoir Thermal Energy Storage (HT-RTES) site with optimal performance metrics by combining physics-based simulation with stochastic hydrogeologic formation and thermal energy storage operation parameters, artificial neural network regression of the simulation data, and genetic algorithm-enabled multi-objective optimization. A doublet well configuration with a layered (aquitard-aquifer-aquitard) generic reservoir is simulated for cases of continuous operation and seasonal-cycle operation scenarios. Neural network-based surrogate models are developed for the two scenarios and applied to generate the Pareto fronts of the HT-RTES performance for four potential HT-RTES sites. The developed Pareto optimal solutions indicate the performance of HT-RTES is operation-scenario (i.e., fluid cycle) and reservoir-site dependent, and the performance metrics have competing effects for a given site and a given fluid cycle. The developed neural network models can be applied to identify suitable sites for HT-RTES, and the proposed framework sheds light on the design of resilient HT-RTES systems.

All the simulations and the neural network model were done by Idaho National Laboratory. A detailed description of the work was reported in publication linked below.

Hawaii Play Fairway: Preliminary Core Box Photos, Lanai Island, Hawaii

Photos of core samples from Lanai Island. During the third phase of the Hawaii Play Fairway project, further exploration involved drilling a groundwater well in Lanai's Palawai Basin and performing more geophysical surveys. The project deepened an existing water well on Lanai. Drilling occurred 24/7 the entire month of June 2019 over which time Lanai Well 10 was deepened from 427 m to 1057 m, with continuous core collected.  The roughly linear temperature gradient was an average of 42 degC/km, and a maximum bottom hole temperature, 66 degC.  This gradient is more than twice the background for Hawaii and within a range of gradients measured in this depth range for some exploration wells within KERZ. The Hawaii Play Fairway project seeks to explore the geologic structures that exist in the caldera region of Hawaiian volcanoes; how those structures influence groundwater storage and flow; and how the magmatic heat from Hawaiian shield volcanoes cools over time. The Hawaii Groundwater and Geothermal Resources Center (Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawaii at Manoa) executed the Hawaii Play Fairway project. For more information, go to HGGRC's website that is linked in the resources.

Exploration for Blind Geothermal Resources in the State of Hawaii Utilizing Dissolved Noble Gasses in Well Waters

This study is an extension of the Hawaii Play Fairway Analysis (PFA), a statewide geothermal exploration project funded by the United States Department of Energy. Based on results from prior phases of the PFA, this project targeted 66 wells on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Lanai, Oahu, and Kauai for sampling of dissolved noble gases, trace metals, common ions, and the stable isotopes 2H and 18O. Ultimately, 23 of the 66 well targets were sampled. The noble gas helium is used as an indicator of geothermal heat when excess 3He and/or 4He is present when compared to the atmospheric ratio of those isotopes (R/Ra). R/Ra is minimally affected by dilution and transport, allowing even those wells not perfectly situated over a geothermal system to indicate a geothermal anomaly. R/Ra anomalies are present on every island in this study. There is a strong correlation between R/Ra anomalies and proximity to rift zones and calderas. Across the islands R/Ra ranged from 15-16 on Kilauea's lower east rift zone, which is a mantle plume value, to 0.37 on Lanai, which is a crustal value. The majority of anomalous well samples had R/Ra values consistent with an upper mantle source. Mixing between upper mantle and crustal helium is evident on all islands. Geographically, R/Ra decreases from the high at Kilauea to upper mantle values at Mauna Loa, and remains at upper mantle values for all wells across the other volcanoes, with the exception of two of four sampled wells on Lanai.

Utah FORGE: Well 16A(78)-32 Stage 1 - Pressure Falloff Analysis

This is an analysis of the pressure falloff in stage 1 fracture stimulation of FORGE well 16A(78)-32. The objective of this research is to understand the information content of the well stimulation data of FORGE Well 16A(78)-32. The Stage 1 step-rate test, a variant of the classic diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT), contains valuable information about the success of well fracturing and the nature of resulting formation stimulation in the drainage volume of Well 16A(78). The analysis we have provided is based on the classic pressure transient analysis in petroleum reservoirs. The next step in the analysis is to use the information we have discovered in the analysis of tracer flowback data. This set of slides we have provided includes the pressure falloff analysis of the data recorded during stimulation of Stage 1 in injection Well 16A(78)-32 conducted in April of 2022. To honor multiple rate a superposition approach for linear flow regime was applied. The analysis yielded a permeability two orders of magnitude larger than permeability from cores. Our calculated permeability is essentially the effective permeability of micro- and macro-fracture system in the stimulated volume of the Well 16A(78)-32. Another observation is that after using the classic G-function plot, no closure stress was observed. This could suggest that pre-existing natural fractures were reopened during stimulation and yet had no propensity to close in accordance to the poroelastic properties.
