    • Abandoned petroleum wells as sustainable sources of geothermal energy 

      Templeton, J.D.; Ghoreishi-Madiseh, S.A.; Hassani, F.; Al-Khawaja, M.J. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2014 , Article)
      A reliable heat transfer model was developed to determine the performance of a double pipe heat exchanger retrofitted to an abandoned petroleum well. The proposed model is compared against an analytical heat transfer model ...

    • Energy conversion of heat from abandoned oil wells to mechanical refrigeration - Transient analysis and optimization 

      Al-Khawaja, Mohammed; K. Sleiti, Ahmad; A. Al-Ammari, Wahib ( Elsevier , 2012 , Article)
      This study investigates the potential of using the geothermal energy from abandoned oils in a novel three-loop system; geothermal, power and cooling loops to produce cooling effect. The geothermal loop drives the power and ...

    • Geothermal energy extraction from decommissioned petroleum wells 

      Ghoreishi-Madiseh, S.A.; Templeton, J.; Hassani, F.; Al-Khawaja, M. J.; Aflaki, E. ( International Society for Rock Mechanics , 2014 , Conference Paper)
      Abandoned wells impose enduring liabilities to petroleum companies and/or governments. However, the depth and abundance of abandoned petroleum wells make them an economically attractive source of geothermal energy. Geothermal ...

    • Performance evaluation of a near-surface earth-to-air heat exchanger with short-grass ground cover: an experimental study 

      Pakari A.; Ghani S. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)
      Given the negative environmental impact and high energy consumption of conventional air conditioning systems, the use of passive cooling systems has become particularly important. An earth-to-air heat exchanger, which ...

    • Potential of geothermal energy for electricity generation in Qatar 

      Kharseh, Mohamad; Hassani, Firre; Alkhawaja, Mohammed ( Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      There is general acceptance that climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, improving the performance of our existing energy ...

    • Recycling low grade waste heat to electricity 

      Razavinia, N.; Mucciardi, F.; Hassani, F.; Al-Khawaja, M. ( Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum , 2013 , Conference Paper)
      Most mining and metallurgical industries produce relatively large quantities of low grade waste heat which they vent, for the most part, to the environment. To date, little is being done to recover some of this heat and ...

    • Utilization of oil wells for electricity generation: Performance and economics 

      Kharseh, M.; Al-Khawaja, M.; Hassani, F. ( Elsevier Ltd , 2015 , Article)
      There is a general agreement that the climate change, which is the most important challenge facing humanity, is anthropogenic and attributed to fossil fuel consumption. Therefore, deploying more renewable energy resources ...
