Assessment of geothermal application for electricity production from the prairie evaporite formation of Williston Basin in South-West Manitoba
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this thesis, the potential of enhanced geothermal system to provide adequate energy to a 10 MW electricity power plant from Prairie Evaporite Formation of Williston Basin was investigated. This formation partly consists of halite with low thermal resistance and high thermal conductivity, which translates into a lower drilling length to reach the desired temperature, comparing to other rock types. To this end, two numerical models with experimental data in south-west Manitoba (i.e. Tilston) and south-east Saskatchewan (i.e. Generic) were designed. The thermal reservoirs were located at 1.5 km (Tilston site) and 3 km (Generic site) with approximate thicknesses of 118 m. Considering an injection brine of 6% NaCl at 15°C, the final derived temperature at wellhead of the production wells were 43°C and 105°C respectively. Finally, the Generic site was concluded as a suitable candidate for electricity production by providing higher surfaced fluid temperature than the minimum of 80°C.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
