KenGen has printed an RFP for consultancy providers to conduct an in depth optimization examine of the Better Olkaria Geothermal Subject in Kenya.
KenGen has printed a Request for Proposals for “Consultancy Providers for enterprise optimization examine of the Better Olkaria geothermal fields” (Ref#KGN-GDD-115-2023). The bid paperwork may be accessed by way of KenGen’s official tender web page. The time limit for this tender will probably be on 23 January 2024.
The geothermal services of KenGen within the Olkaria area presently has an put in capability of 796.7 MW throughout 5 most important energy plant items and wellhead technology items. There are a number of expansions initiatives within the pipeline, with a complete potential capability of 381 MW. Nonetheless, research estimate that there’s nonetheless appreciable geothermal potential but to be developed in Olkaria.
KenGen intends to interact the providers of respected consulting companies to hold out detailed optimization research and reservoir numerical modeling to cowl the 204 sq. km. of the Better Olkaria geothermal area. The examine will incorporate new exploration and utilization information that has turn out to be out there because the final examine.
The objectives of the examine are to:
Collate and course of all the prevailing data and information for your complete area
Create a structured repository for all datasets
Assess the information and advise KenGen on the extra information wanted
Analyze the information and develop reservoir mannequin masking your complete area
Perform numerical simulation of the response of the reservoir with respect to current manufacturing and future developments. The reservoir simulation code ought to incorporate properly bore movement simulation
Advocate and supply parallel computing cluster for use in numerical modeling. The answer ought to have the ability to deal with the expansive numerical mannequin of Olkaria geothermal advanced. Reservoir simulator must be coupled with properly bore and presumably floor services as choice
Establish the event technique that matches greatest to the reservoir response for long run exploitation of the sphere
Advise KenGen on probably the most optimum growth for the sphere with respect to
Optimum output (MW), Plant sizes, Course of cycle and Places
Growth phases
Reinjection technique for the entire area
Put together financial and monetary evaluation of proposed and beneficial growth choices
The outcomes of the examine are as follows:
Evaluation of the prevailing out there information from your complete area and recommendation on the extra information required to hold out profitable optimization examine
A central repository for all of the out there exploration and useful resource utilization datasets
Evaluation of the reservoir potential masking the 204km2 larger Olkaria geothermal area and extra energy manufacturing that may be added past the 1200 MW
Suggestions and provide reservoir modelling resolution able to dealing with full workflow from information, pre and publish processing, simulation and fashions and visualization
Numerical simulation of the broader reservoir to foretell its response to current and future manufacturing and recommendation on probably the most optimum growth technique for the sphere together with suggestions of cold and hot injection technique.
Suggestions on the optimum extra growth for the sphere, the placement, and sizes of the vegetation to be put in and the event sequence
Suggestions on the suitable administration and monitoring technique for the sphere together with any extra research required
The optimum sources utilization for sustainable growth
