Scoff as much as you like, but Ukog is clearly making plans to be part of the geothermal revolution that could have a significant impact on UK's energy requirements for many years to come, green energy at that!!!......so what exactly is it that bothers the detractors so much in ukog's Geothermal propects and potential in this fledging industry with so much promise? Gla Holders....those that are blinkered and bitter and twisted on anything Ukog can't see past their noses...ha ha ha ha ...;-)

GEAA's mission is to advocate increased awareness of and investment in geothermal energy as a key sustainable source for zero-carbon electricity, heat, hot water. As reported in UKOG's latest Annual Report, the Company plans to be increasingly active in this newly-emerging sector, where we possess the key subsurface, engineering and commercial skills necessary to make such projects work.

UKOG is actively scoping two new standalone geothermal projects in the UK, together with a hybrid geothermal, solar and battery storage project at our Horse Hill site. We also plan to review geothermal opportunities onshore Turkey once our forthcoming Basur-3 appraisal well has been completed.

and little old Ukog are positioning themselves to be part of the Geothermal revolution. Gla holders ;-)

Lol ibug, that's because you're struggling to find any negatives to undermine Ukog's Geothermal plans...ha ha ha ha.....and get real Mirasol, "no ones made any money from Geothermal"....ho ho ho ho......looks like it could be the next big thing. Gl ;-)

A report released by the UK based association REA and ARUP highlights the economic decarbonisation opportunities represented by geothermal energy in the UK.

The Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology (REA) and ARUP have published their ‘Deep Geothermal Energy: Economic Decarbonisation Opportunities for the United Kingdom’ report which underlines the environmental and economic potential of deep geothermal. It has the backing of over 30 businesses, academics, NGOs and industry experts. The report will be introduced in an upcoming webinar on May 19, 2021, as we reported.

The report estimates that, should the Government establish a Geothermal Development Incentive, 12 deep geothermal projects could be operational by 2025, creating 1,300 jobs and generating more than GBP100 million (approx. USD 140 million) of investment, predominately in towns and cities in the North of England, Midlands and South-West. The scheme would provide a catalyst to the industry, with 360 sites being established by 2050. This would provide an additional GBP1.5 billion (approx. USD 2.1 billion) of investment, 10,000 direct jobs and 25,000 indirect jobs, and an annual carbon saving of 3 megatons.

Deep geothermal energy is a space efficient utility scale renewable heat resource that can be deployed in urban areas, specifically with the potential to heat thousands of large commercial and other properties for generations. Heat accounts for around 40% of the UK’s energy consumption and nearly a third of UK greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated that there is currently enough deep geothermal heat energy to supply all of the UK’s needs for at least 100 years.

Looks like Ukog's Geothermal plans could be highly significant for prospects and potential. Gla holders ;-)

UK agents explore reuse of non-productive gas wells for geothermal

Geothermal energy has many applications (source: CeraPhi Energy)

UK-based Third Energy UK and Serafi Energy have partnered in exploring opportunities to reuse non-productive gas wells for geothermal power generation.

third energy ukUK-based, a private group of onshore gas exploration and power generation companies based in North Yorkshire, England, has announced a partnership with renewable energy developer Serafi Energy.

The association aims to investigate the reuse of Third Energy’s non-productive gas wells for geothermal energy. Third draws on CeraPhi Energy’s proprietary technology and expertise to assess well reuse feasibility and commercial potential at its North Yorkshire sites.

Both companies say the results could be a game-changer for geothermal’s role in the energy transition and could have a revolutionary impact on ‘orphaned’ and advanced life wells in the UK’s onshore oil and gas sector.

Feasibility and conceptual studies for the reuse of wells will begin next month with a preliminary analysis of the MN4, KM3 and KM8 wells in the Pickering Valley under the new term manager signed with the third.

The CeraPhi team will focus on evaluating well development potential for its proprietary CeraPhiWell(TM) technology, a closed-loop downhole heat exchanger that removes heat from the subsurface for use in a variety of base load power applications. Scalable, including:

This means that new plants will benefit local communities by attracting new business, jobs and inward investment, as well as offering the potential for delivering local heat networks for residents. Our initial focus, part funded by the governments Heat Network Delivery Unit (HNDU), will be to supply a proposed new housing development of 3800 homes and commercial buildings at Langarth Garden Village.”

To develop each of the future geothermal power plants, two deep wells will be drilled into the granitic rock beneath the site, the deepest of which will reach upwards of 4.5 kilometers. Water is then pumped from the deepest well where temperatures are expected to be approximately 180C. The steam produced is then fed through a heat exchanger at the surface and water is then re-injected into the ground to pick up more heat from the rocks in a continuous cycle. The extracted heat will be converted into electricity and supplied to the National Grid. The electricity and heat energy produced by this type of low carbon, renewable energy source is continuous (24/7) as geothermal energy does not generate in peaks and troughs as many other sustainable power sources are subject do.

In a release shared this morning, UK-based geothermal developer Geothermal Engineering Ltd (GEL), the company behind UK’s first deep geothermal electricity power plant, announced that it will be rolling out four new deep geothermal power plants in Cornwall. In addition, GEL’s proof of concept power plant on the United Downs Industrial Estate in Cornwall is now producing the UK’s first geothermal steam using 175C water extracted a record-breaking 5.1 kilometers underground. The company is signed power and heat agreements in January of this year.

Heads of Terms have now been signed on the four new geothermal sites planned for Cornwall, each anticipated to deliver 5 MWe (Mega Watt electrical) of power, 24/7 to the National Grid and 20 MW of heat energy for the local area. The electricity produced from all four power stations will be enough to power 45,000 homes. Each plant will each take around 18 months to complete, with all four sites anticipated to be up and running by 2026.

GEL and Thrive Renewable’s pioneering geothermal plant at United Downs is now producing geothermal steam at 175C which will be converted to deliver approximately 3 MWe of power to the National Grid and is on track to deliver its first electricity during 2022. The Cornwall Geothermal Distillery Company is in the approval processes to utilise 2.5MW of the hot water the plant is expected to produce. Up to 10MW of heat is also expected to be used in a large housing development planned at Langarth.

Ryan Law, Managing Director of Geothermal Engineering Ltd said: “This is an incredibly exciting time for deep geothermal energy in the UK as we transition from oil and gas and tap into this huge renewable power resource. We have proved the technology works at United Downs, we have progressive funding in place, and we now have four additional sites, which our experienced team is ready to start work on. Over the next 20 years, our target is to produce in excess of 500 MW of power from geothermal resources making this one of the most significant and reliable baseload power sources in the UK.”

Matthew Clayton, Managing Director of Thrive Renewables plc said: “As the UK produces increasing amounts of variable renewable energy like wind and solar power, this form of baseload power production plays an essential role in stabilising and securing our power supply. We are delighted to have backed geothermal in the UK at an early stage at United Downs and firmly believe that geothermal energy will form a valuable part of the UK’s future energy mix.”

Cornwall Council cabinet portfolio holder for the economy Stephen Rushworth said: “We are excited to support this emerging industry as it continues to take shape in Cornwall, and to realise the benefits it will deliver for the residents of Cornwall. Unlike almost any other form of energy production, geothermal heat energy must be used close to its source.

Good Morning ibug, just picked up on your following post, the Geothermal angle could be highly significant for prospects and potential imho. .....and presumably no reference was made in the planning application becuase Ukog only joined the association in April 2021 long after the application was submitted. You also highlighted the difference between grey and green which i fully understand, but the vast majority of green energy is powered by grey energy, almost every electric car and every hosehold appliance unless you live in a windmill or watermill, and so ukog's Geothermal plans could be a big positive in going forward. Gl;-)

Ibug
I wouldn't worry about it too much as gas is not the issue. Even if it was I wouldn't bank on it. The issue is about accessand SCC policy.
"Members asked for clarification on the difference between ‘grey hydrogen’ and ‘green hydrogen’. It was noted that ‘green hydrogen’ was from renewable energy and ‘grey hydrogen’ was from fossil fuels. It was however noted that there was no reference to hydrogen in the planning statement submitted by the applicant."

Founder membership of Geothermal Energy Advancement Association

UK Oil & Gas PLC (London AIM: UKOG) is pleased to announce that the Company has become one of the six founder members of the newly-formed Geothermal Energy Advancement Association ("GEAA").

GEAA's mission is to advocate increased awareness of and investment in geothermal energy as a key sustainable source for zero-carbon electricity, heat, hot water. As reported in UKOG's latest Annual Report, the Company plans to be increasingly active in this newly-emerging sector, where we possess the key subsurface, engineering and commercial skills necessary to make such projects work.

UKOG is actively scoping two new standalone geothermal projects in the UK, together with a hybrid geothermal, solar and battery storage project at our Horse Hill site. We also plan to review geothermal opportunities onshore Turkey once our forthcoming Basur-3 appraisal well has been completed.

The fact they update their Facebook page yesterday wishing everyone a Happy Eid with a logo of Siirt Basur-3 kuyusu ( Siirt Basur-3 well )in large letters and a photo of their workforce on the well pad/rig site.....and so not sure given the timing they would have include the logo and photo if Basur-3 was a duster.....and so very encouraging imho and could be significant on the outcome of drilling operations and eagerly awaited UPdate...Gla holders ;-)

We sincerely celebrate the holidays of all our teammates who work in the field, away from their families, so that our energy will never run out.

Lol ibug, SS came out of the HH in a dark range rover as i was driving past a few years back, could have been a dark Navy one from what i remember....how else do you think he got to site for inspection...inside an oil tanker???

ps penguins , of course i'm concerned as i've invested c£10k on the outcome of Basur-3 at an average of 0.17p....Tick Tock ;-)

Lol Penguinn, what's up, the Happy Eid photo clearly shows the Basur-3 well pad and rig.....i view the timing very encouraging that operations are still underway, and every chance of an update this coming week. Gl ;-)

Lol Oofy, you might be right, i thought it seemed late in the season but they can have two broods from late April according to google, and my garden has been full of goldfinches this year...which probably explains the nest. ;-)

Lol ibug, i actually came across that yeasterday on a google search of Basur.....i know who the pains in the arses are....ha ha ha :-)

ps "Piles of OIL"...;-)

Just come across a Goldfinch's nest hiding in the wysteria arch in my garden, full of Goldfinch chicks....beautiful.....i'll take that as another good sign. Gla ;-)

Yep, i look upon Oceanmac's Facebook post as very encouraging, the delay in any update from Ukog was begining to greatly concern me on the likelihood of any good news from Basur-3, and so the information from Oceanmac suggests that operations are still underway and so at this stage it's not a duster....and if well tests or whatever are underway then every chance of an update on Monday...and i'm obviously hoping for confirmation of an "Oil Discovery", stranger things have happened....gl ;-)))

The Happy Eid statement is 19 hrs old, ( yesterday ) there was a full Moon in Surrey last night, or it certainly looked liked a big yellowish full moon from my back garden. ;-)
