Resource evaluation of geothermal power plant under the conditions of carboniferous deposits usage in the Dnipro-Donetsk depression

The objective of the work is to substantiate the actualization of
the problem of obtaining geothermal energy from oil and gas wells of oil
and gas production facilities in the central-eastern part of the Dnieper-
Donetsk Depression (DDD). The research methodology is based on the
collection and statistical processing geophysical data of the DDD oil and
gas deposits, the use of balance equations for energy and substance matter.
The main result of the work is that the principal technological scheme of
the geothermal system has been developed and the geothermal potential of
oil and gas wells in the experimental zone has been analyzed. There have
been considered the technological and ecological aspects of geothermal
heat usage from depleted deposits of the DDD wells, which were disclosed
into сarboniferous deposits productive horizons.
