Universal GeoPower LLC (UGP) would demonstrate the technical feasibility and economic viability of geothermal electricity production from oil/gas (O/G) coproduced water using binary Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology to utilize a small production O/G well that is considered unproductive due to the cost of separating and re-injecting the coproduced water associated with the hydrocarbon production and has therefore been "orphaned" awaiting well plugging and well site remediation. No laboratory work is needed for the project.
