Abstract
A geopressure and geothermal power system includes at least one pressure exchanger configured to receive a production fluid and a working fluid. At least one power generation unit is fluidly coupled to the pressure exchanger. At least one production well is positioned at least partially within a geothermal reservoir and provides the production fluid to the pressure exchanger. The system may also include at least one heat exchanger fluidly coupled to the at least one pressure exchanger and configured to one of, a) receive from and b) provide to, the at least one pressure exchanger the production fluid and the working fluid.
