Resource Analysis for Deep Direct-Use Feasibility Study in East Texas, Part 2

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Southern Methodist University Geothermal Laboratory, Eastman Chemical, Turbine Air Systems, and the Electric Power Research Institute are evaluating the feasibility of using geothermal heat to improve the efficiency of natural gas power plants. The area of interest is the Eastman Chemical plant in Longview, Texas, which is on the northwestern margin of the Sabine Uplift. Part 2 focus on: 1) Permit report and spreadsheet on Federal, State, and Local agency requirements for a geothermal deep direct-use project in the vicinity of East Texas for Harrison, Gregg, Rusk, and Panola Counties. 2) Evaluation of the Geologic Variability of Travis Peak Formation as a reservoir. 3) Updated Heat Flow Memo with additional references.

美国国家可再生能源实验室（National Renewable Energy Laboratory）、南卫理公会大学地热实验室（Southern Methodist University Geothermal Laboratory）、伊士曼化工（Eastman Chemical）、涡轮空气系统公司（Turbine Air Systems）以及电力研究院（Electric Power Research Institute）正评估利用地热能提升天然气发电厂运行效率的可行性。本次研究的目标区域为位于得克萨斯州朗维尤的伊士曼化工厂，其地处萨宾隆起（Sabine Uplift）西北边缘。第二部分的研究重点包括：1. 针对得克萨斯州东部哈里森县、格雷格县、拉斯克县及帕诺拉县附近的地热深层直接利用项目，整理联邦、州及地方机构相关要求的许可报告与电子数据表；2. 评估作为储层的特拉维斯峰组（Travis Peak Formation）的地质变异性；3. 补充参考文献后的最新热流备忘录。
