Trying to figure basically how this all works. Hybanero have reached the minimum target depth for the injection well. Which must be at the level of the granite layers . Hydraulic stimulation involves up to 9000 PSI pressurised water applied over a long time to open or fracture the granite, which later will allow water to flow through and heat up. Question 1 What pressure is needed for normal operating conditions once the recovery wells are drilled.? or does the closed loop system drive itself? Question 2 when are the recovery wells expected to be drilled.? do they need 2 recovery wells?
Heated water passes through a heat exchanger at the surface which in turn heats another type of liquid with a lower boiling point . Which means it converts to steam more quickly. Pressurised steam drives the turbines to generate electricity. Thats basically how I understand it anyone help with those questions .
