Canadian Borealis GeoPower partners with Free Energy Power Corp. on co-production project that will utilize waste water from oilfields to generate electricity.
In an announcement, Canadian Borealis GeoPower says it “has partnered with Free Energy Power Corporation to develop the Swan Hills power production plant and the project is moving forward.
The power production plant will use geothermal waste heat from the facility to generate electricity. The main part of the Swan Hills field produces oil, gas and water from depth and these fluids are pumped to the surface at approximately 73-77 degrees C in very high volumes. The oil and gas are separated from the water, and the water is then pumped back into the formation to be reheated. Free Energy will utilize heat exchange technology to remove sufficient heat from the water before it is re-circulated to produce electricity. Borealis will prepare a technical report on the geothermal qualities and projected longevity of oil production from the project lands, and will be entitled to share in the proceeds from any sale.”
