ABSTRACT:
An energy producing apparatus and method are provided to harness thermal energy from a down hole resource (such as oil or gas) on an offshore rig and to generate electrical power from the thermal energy. This may include a pipe to receive either the high temperature gas or oil and a power module coupled to the pipe to convert thermal energy from the received oil or gas to electrical power.
