德克萨斯州铁路委员会已向阿塔斯科萨县的 Sage Geosystems 颁发了第一张深层地压地热井许可证。
该油井许可证位于圣安东尼奥南部的阿纳康乔地层，是德克萨斯州能源领域的一个重要里程碑，因为这是自德克萨斯州立法机构将此类油井的监管权从德克萨斯州环境质量委员会转移到 RRC 以来颁发的第一个深层地压地热许可证。
圣米格尔电力合作社将利用该井发电，为客户提供服务。Sage Geosystems 已与该合作社签订了土地使用协议，以开发 3 兆瓦地压地热系统储能设施。
RRC 的监管框架确保所有地热项目都遵守严格的环境和安全标准，同时帮助发展这个与石油和天然气行业在技能和技术上有大量重叠的新兴产业。
The Railroad Commission of Texas has issued its first permit for a deep geo-pressured, geothermal well to Sage Geosystems in Atascosa County.
Located south of San Antonio in the Anaconcho Formation, this well permit marks a significant milestone in Texas’ energy sector as the first deep geo-pressured, geothermal permit issued since the Texas Legislature transferred regulatory authority for these types of wells from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to the RRC.
The well will be used in electricity generation by the San Miguel Electric Cooperative to serve its customers. Sage Geosystems has entered into a land use agreement with the cooperative to develop a 3-MW Geopressured Geothermal System energy storage facility.
The RRC’s regulatory framework ensures that all geothermal projects adhere to rigorous environmental and safety standards while helping develop this emerging industry which has substantial skill and technology overlap with oil and gas industry.
