Definitions

  • This invention relates to energy storage and water desalination. More particularly, fluid is injected down a well to form a hydraulic fracture. Fluid may be pumped into the fracture under pressure and later produced from the fracture under pressure and used to generate power or flow into a reverse osmosis unit for desalination.
  • renewable energy sources A number of factors including energy security, price volatility, carbon regulation, tax incentives and fears of anthropogenic global warming are driving rapid growth of renewable energy sources. Since liquid fossil fuels are consumed primarily in the transportation industry due to their outstanding energy density (about 45 MJ/liter) and biofuels provide only limited energy gain, the key role for renewable energy sources is to displace fossil fuel consumption in electric power generation. The U.S. presently consumes on the order of 1 TW (10 12 Watts) of electric power, so only renewable technologies that can eventually deliver 100's of GW overall are meaningful grid-scale options. Aside from hydroelectric power, which has been operating at essentially full capacity for decades, only solar- and wind-based systems can be considered at this time.
  • Table 1 enumerates the characteristics of candidate energy storage technologies.
  • the most common electric storage systems in use today are based on some sort of battery technology; leading candidates include lead-acid, lithium ion and vanadium flow batteries. These are generally useful not only for leveling renewables at the source, but also for peak-shifting and improving reliability at the point of use.
  • As of 2008 installations were being purchased by PG&E for residential areas with a rated capacity of 1 MW supply for 5 hours at a price of $2M USD. These were justified by deferring investment in increased transmission capacity (-2/3) and partly by improved quality of service (-1/3). This provides a useful scale and price-point for considering alternative storage technologies: 5,000 kw-hr capacity, and $400/kw-hr price.
  • FIG. 2 Another key application for storage technologies lies in peak shifting, or delivering extra power during short periods of extreme demand. This region is denoted 'Distributed Resources' in FIG. 2. Summer afternoon demand peaks related to air conditioning is a prime example. This is simultaneously a period of low productivity for wind turbines, unfortunately.
  • the chart in FIG. 3 shows the estimated capital costs of various candidate technologies for servicing this application.
  • the present invention uses wells to store fluid at high pressure in fractures (e.g., hydraulic fractures and/or naturally occurring fractures) in the earth.
  • the fluid is used in conventional equipment to produce power as the fluid is produced back from the well.
  • the walls of the fracture may be made less permeable and the propagation pressure of the fracture may be increased by injecting a resin, such as epoxy, into the fracture.
  • a resin such as epoxy
  • the stored fluid is saline water, such as water produced from strata in the earth, and there is demand for fresh water
  • a selected fraction of the saline water produced from the storage capacity may be directed to a reverse osmosis unit for desalination.
  • FIG. 1 shows the diurnal wind pattern at Wildorado, Texas
  • FIG. 2 shows energy storage technologies costs and efficiencies.
  • FIG. 3 shows distributed utility applications and renewables matching.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates a hydraulic fracture in the earth and equipment for forming it.
  • FIG. 5 A is a cross section view of a fracture illustrating placement of a resin in a rock penetrated by the fracture.
  • FIG. 5B is a cross section view of a fracture illustrating a displacement fluid moving the resin toward the end of the fracture.
  • FIG. 5C is a cross section view of a fracture illustrating the resin displaced to the tip of the fracture.
  • FIG. 6 illustrates a hydraulic fracture in the earth around a well and equipment on the earth's surface for controlling flowback from the fracture and generating power or desalinating water.
  • Hydraulic fracturing is used routinely to improve production rates from oil and gas wells drilled into low permeability reservoirs. Such fractures increase the effective productive surface area of wells into reservoir rock. Indeed, profitable exploitation of unconventional reservoirs, e.g. the Barnett Shale and Bakken Formation, can only be achieved through extensive fracturing. Briefly, after the well casing is cemented in place, perforations are created at the stratum of interest, and then a fluid is pumped down the well at high pressure to induce fractures in the rock formation around the well, as illustrated in FIG. 4. Well 41 has been drilled into a subsurface formation. Sand truck 42 may bring proppant to the well site.
  • Fracturing fluid can be mixed and stored in tank 45, from which it is drawn to blender truck 43, where it is mixed with sand or other proppant.
  • High-pressure pumps 44 are used to force fluid down well 41 at a pressure sufficient to form fracture 46 around the well.
  • Proppant particles 47 may be pumped into the fracture after it has formed.
  • the requisite pressure to form fracture 46 generally depends linearly on depth; a typical 'fracture gradient' is about 0.8 PSI per foot of well depth. So a 3,000 foot well requires a pressure of about 2,400 psi at the rock face to create a hydraulic fracture. In shallow wells (up to 1 ,000 to 2,000 feet deep), hydraulic fractures normally propagate horizontally.
  • the orientation of the fractures is not important.
  • energy is stored by deformation of rock around the fracture, which is primarily elastic deformation.
  • the fracture may be primarily in one plane extending from the well through surrounding rock formation, as shown in FIG. 4, or, in naturally fractured rock such as the Barnett or Bakken shale formations, the fracture may extend over a large volume, with many different fluid paths.
  • a fracture in a well might extend radially from the wellbore, for example, on the order of 100 meters to 1000 meters. If the fracture is primarily in one plane, the fracture thickness can be on the order of 0.5 - 2 cm at the well bore. Crack propagation can be monitored in real time during the fracture operation using microseismic methods, while the degree and pattern of deformation at the surface of the earth can be measured simultaneously using tiltmeters. The fluid permeability and elastic properties of the fractured rock stratum effectively determine the extent of fracture possible with a given pumping system. As the fracture increases in length, the surface area of rock increases along with the rate of fluids entering the rock rather than filling the fracture proper.
  • Fluid loss additives may be added to the fracture fluid to decrease the rate of fluids entering the rock from the fracture. Fluid loss can be further decreased by pumping a polymer resin in the fracturing fluid.
  • a polymer resin Preferably, an aliphatic epoxy resin may be used, such as described in the paper "Water- Dispersible Resin System for Wellbore Stabilization," L. Eoff et al, SPE 64980, 2001. Furan, phenolic and other epoxy resins may also be used.
  • the resin system can be pumped as a neat resin, a resin/sand mixture, or dispersed in water- or oil-based fracturing fluid.
  • the resin may be mixed with a diluent or solvent, which may be reactive.
  • a slug of neat resin at the beginning of a fracture resin may be followed by a dispersion of resin in fracturing fluid and this followed with fracturing fluid.
  • Proppant and/or fluid loss agents may be added to either of the fluids.
  • Volumes of the different fluids are preferably selected to allow epoxy or other resin to fill the fracture to the tip and infiltrate the rock around the fracture tip. Injection of resin or resin- containing fluids may be applied repeatedly to obtain lower fluid loss from a fracture.
  • FIGS. 5A, 5B and 5C illustrate, by showing cross-sections of a fracture, one method of placing a resin in a fracture to prepare the fracture for storage of energy, as taught herein.
  • a resin, dispersion of resin or liquid mixture with resin 50 is present in a wellbore and in fracture 51 that has been formed in rock.
  • Resin 50 may contain a fluid loss additive.
  • Resin-leaked-off- into-rock 52 surrounds the fracture.
  • displacement fluid 54 which may be water containing a viscosifier, oil-based or containing a solvent for the resin, is shown moving resin 50 toward the end of the fracture.
  • Displacement fluid 54 preferably is more viscous than resin 50.
  • the amount of resin-leaked-off-into-rock 52 has increased.
  • Fracture 51 may contain proppant 55.
  • the resin in or around the tip of the fracture will increase the propagation pressure of the fracture and allow wider fractures to be created during fluid storage. Fluid leak-off rate of fluid to be stored under pressure in the fracture can be decreased to a small or minimal value. With the achievement of low fluid loss from a fracture, gas may also be used as the working fluid for the storage process, alone or with liquid.
  • the energy used to generate the fracture can be partitioned into three main categories: fluid friction (lost, depends on pumping rates and pipe sizes in the well), cracking rock (small; lost), and elastic flexure of rock surrounding the fracture.
  • fluid friction lost, depends on pumping rates and pipe sizes in the well
  • cracking rock small; lost
  • elastic flexure of rock surrounding the fracture we note that the energy used to deform the rock elastically is actually stored as potential energy. This energy can be recovered from the fluid stream ejected from the fracture and borehole as the rock relaxes to its original position.
  • the fluid filled space can be used to hydraulically lift (and flex) overburden and store mechanical energy. That energy can be efficiently recovered by allowing the pressurized fluid to escape through a turbine.
  • the process of injecting fluids at a pressure above the fracture gradient may be repeated a selected number of times, alternately with the process of producing fluid back to generate power.
  • the fracture functions as an elastic storage vessel.
  • this scheme is conceptually similar to pumped hydro systems. Instead of pumping water alone uphill, however, we will pump water down, and use it to hydraulically lift and flex a large dense block of earth or deform the earth elastically.
  • the key components (pumps, turbines) and loss channels (fluid friction) are similar or common to both, so we expect that this new approach will have about the same overall efficiency as pumped hydro, at about 87% on a round trip basis.
  • a key advantage of this new approach is that flat terrain can be used, and massive earthworks and environmental impacts are eliminated.
  • Example 1 1 km deep well, with 1 cm average lift over 100 meter radius (typical oilfield frac)
  • Example 2 1 km deep well, with 10 cm average lift over 500 meter radius
  • a 3 MW wind turbine operating at typical 30% utilization factor generates 2.16E4 kw-hr per day.
  • the unit described in example 2 can therefore store the entire nominal daily output of wind farm comprised of 167 turbines. If one purchased a battery based storage system for this amount of stored energy at current prices ($400 / kw-hr), a capital investment of roughly $239 Million would be required. We expect that the capital investment for energy storage in such hydraulic fractures would be roughly three to ten times less.
  • the scale of energy storage is plainly in the load management regime (FIG. 2), which is presently only accessible by pumped hydro and CAES technology. If the system in this example were cycled at 30% of capacity each day, the arbitrage value would be approximately $18,000 per day at $0.10 per kw-hr.
  • the fluid injected into a fracture may be liquid or gas.
  • a suitable fluid is brine produced from a strata in the earth below the potable water equifers.
  • the brine may be produced along with hydrocarbon production. If brine or water containing dissolved salt is injected into the fracture of FIG. 4 or 5, the fluid produced back will be essentially of the same composition as the fluid injected.
  • the pressure of the produced fluid will be at an elevated level until the fracture closes.

  • the well may also be connected to desalination or other water-treatment facilities through valve 65.
  • a preferred water-treatment facility is a reverse osmosis unit, such as unit 66.
  • semi-permeable membrane 67 allows removal of dissolved salt from water and production of fresh water, as shown in the figure.
  • Valves 64 and 65 may both be opened during a flowback phase of stored water at elevated pressure, allowing both production of power and production of desalinated water. Alternately, either one of valves 64 and 65 may be closed and all produced fluid be used for one purpose, such as desalination. Alternatively, either valve may also be varied in opening or closing during a flowback phase. Variation of the opening of the valves in response to variation in pressure of the produced fluid during a flowback phase may improve results of the combined processes of power generation and desalination.
  • reverse osmosis will typically require anywhere from 200-1200 psi of differential pressure across a semi-permeable membrane. This is typically the range of driving force that is required to overcome the osmotic pressure and cause water to flow through the semi-permeable membrane. Typical flow rates are 15-35 gal / ft 2 / day (GFD) for seawater, depending on the process conditions.
  • a range of water content may be used— from very low salinity (small amounts of
  • Reverse osmosis can be used to both control the water quality of the storage facility during normal operation, i.e., remove dissolved solids that may affect the performance of the reservoir, for example, causing scale build-up in the well and/or inside the fractures, as well as a method for converting non-potable sources of water to potable quality (e.g. "pumped hydro desalination").
  • Devices well-known in reverse osmosis processes such as pressure exchanger energy recovery devices (available from Energy Recovery, Inc.) may be used. This provides a way to integrate energy storage and water treatment / desalination. If no power is produced during flowback, the process can be viewed as essentially converting stored energy directly into useful work by desalting water.

Abstract

L'invention concerne le stockage d'énergie en injectant un fluide dans une fracture du sol et en produisant le fluide en retour tout en récupérant de l'énergie et/ou en dessalant l'eau. Le procédé est particulièrement adapté au stockage de grandes quantités d'énergie, telles que dans les systèmes d'énergie électrique à l'échelle du réseau. La fracture hydraulique peut être formée et traitée avec de la résine de façon à limiter la perte de fluide et à augmenter la pression de propagation. Le fluide peut être de l'eau contenant un sel dissout ou de l'eau douce et une partie ou la totalité de l'eau peut être dessalée en utilisant la pression dans l'eau lorsqu'elle est produite.
