Abstract

The possibilities of using geothermal energy are slowly expanding to all areas of energy consumption, so the assessment of geothermal potential has become the backbone of energy policies in countries that have the potential. Countries and companies that have experience in the oil and gas industry are increasingly exploring the possibilities of first using the acquired knowledge, and then using the existing oil and gas infrastructure for the use of geothermal energy. For this reason, it is necessary to analyse the possibilities of using the existing infrastructure with all its limitations to maximise the energy potential of geothermal energy. The existing oil infrastructure, especially the wells, is in many cases not suitable for the production of brine and it is necessary to analyse the maximum impact of each well for the production of geothermal energy, with particular attention to the equipment installed in the well and the thickness of the geothermal reservoir in the oil and gas fields that would be suitable for the production of brine.
