A good geothermal well produces 75 kg/s of hot water at 200°C. For the same amount of delivered energy, what would the production rate be from an oil well? How does this compare with a typical US oil well producing about 100-1,000 bbl of oil per day? You can assume that the average heat capacity of the geothermal water is 4,200 J/kg K and that the minimum useful temperature is 50°C and that crude oil has a heating value of about 5.5 million Btu per bbl.
