Abstract
This study on thermal characteristics was conducted at a geothermal resources- in the X field in Indonesia, located at altitudes ranging from 980masl to 1800masl,where 26 wells have been drilled in the prospective area of 65 km2, where development is planned for 2 x 55 MW electric power. The research included determining the temperature of the formation at each well using well heating-up temperature profiles data, also to determine the thermodynamics condition or characteristic of the geothermal system. The research included a literature review on heat energy conversion to electricity. Based on a comprehensive literature review, the problems found in the present-literature will be analyzed, and the result will be used to recommend the possibility technology of conversion that can extract the heat energy optimally in the X geothermal-field.
