Environmental Life Cycle Assessment Spreadsheet tool for Deep Direct-Use Geothermal at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Campus

Dataset Tinjum, James ; Thomas, Lauren ; Holcomb, Franklin

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) spreadsheet tool was developed to analyze potential environmental benefits of a deep direct-use (DDU) geothermal energy system (GES) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U of IL) campus. The LCA spreadsheet tool is a unique contribution to the feasibility study that provides further insight into the cradle-to-grave environmental impacts associated with the GES over the operating life time, as well as other DDU GES with similar objectives. The tool allows for a more in-depth analysis of the feasibility of DDU GES with respect to the overall environmental impacts. For the U of IL assessment,more »« less
Feasibility of a Deep Direct-Use Geothermal System at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Conference Stumpf, Andrew ; Damico, James ; okwen, roland ; ... - GRC Transactions

This study assesses the feasibility of using deep direct-use (DDU) geothermal energy in agricultural research facilities on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign campus to exploit low-temperature sedimentary basins, such as the Illinois Basin. Subsurface components of the system include extraction and injection wells and downhole pumps. Surface equipment includes heat pumps/exchangers, and fluid transport and monitoring systems. Two geologic formations in the region exhibit a potential as sources for geothermal energy, based on pre initial temperatures and flow rates of fluids. The St. Peter and Mt. Simon Sandstones lie at depths of 634 and 1,280 m, respectively. Geocellular modelingmore »« less
Geocellular model of St. Peter Sandstone for University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign DDU Feasibility Study

Dataset Damico, James

The geocellular model of the St. Peter Sandstone was constructed for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign DDU feasibility study. Starting with the initial area of review (18.0 km by 18.1 km [11.2 miles by 11.3 miles]) the boundaries of the model were trimmed down to 9.7 km by 9.7 km (6 miles by 6 miles) to ensure that the model enclosed a large enough volume so that the cones of depression of both the production and injection wells would not interact with each other, while at the same time minimizing the number of cells to model to reduce computationalmore »« less

Extraction/Injection Well Design for Deep Direct Use at University of Illinois at Urban-Champaign

Dataset Kirksey, James ; Lu, Yongqi

The large scale Deep Direct Use (DDU) geothermal project in the low temperature environment of the Illinois Basin requires drilling and completing two wells. One well would be the extraction (producing) well and would be built to deliver a flow rate of approximately 6000 barrels per day (bpd) of brine from the lower part of the Mt. Simon Sandstone at a depth of approximately 6300 feet bgs (below ground surface). The injection well would be constructed to return the produced brine into the upper part of the Mt. Simon Sandstone at a depth of approximately 5250 feet bgs.
