Abstract

Suspended and abandoned wells present a considerable opportunity for renewable energy production, whether in the form of thermal, electrical, or combined energy. By utilizing existing infrastructure to harness these forms of energy, it is possible to reduce negative environmental impacts while simultaneously increasing energy efficiency and sustainability. This approach contributes to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and promotes the development of technologies based on renewable energy sources. Suspended wells offer the advantage of being immediately ready for use when needed, making them an efficient solution. In this paper, completion of suspended and abandoned wells for the production of thermal and/or electrical energy is presented.
