Application of Geochemical Methods in Geothermal Exploration
Subsurface waters have been classified into meteoric water, ocean water, evolved connate water, magmatic water and juvenile water. Geothermal water is mostly meteoric and oceanic water although andesitic waters near subduction areas often contain significant proportions of evolved connate and magmatic waters. Geothermal waters have been classified with respect to their anion and cation contents...
متن کاملSeismic and Magneto-telluric Imaging for Geothermal Exploration at Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico
A shallow geothermal reservoir in the Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico may indicate a commercialscale geothermal energy potential in the area. To explore the geothermal resource at Jemez Pueblo, seismic surveys are conducted along three lines for the purpose of imaging complex subsurface structures near the Indian Springs fault zone. A 3-D magneto-telluric (MT) survey is also carried out in the sa...
متن کاملGeochemical Evaluation of Geopressued Geothermal Wellbore Cement
Geopressured reservoirs can serve as ample source of geothermal energy with temperatures as high as 140 0C. Salinities are typically high in these reservoirs due to the dissolution of surrounding salt domes. Cement retrogression can occur under these geopressured geothermal conditions resulting from calcium silicate hydrate [3CaO2SiO23H2O] phase in hydrated cement converting to alpha dicalciu...
متن کاملGeochemical Techniques in Geothermal Development: an Update
The ultimate goal of geochemical studies of geothermal systems is to understand the physical-chemical processes responsible for their origin and evolution. The chemical composition of fluids (separated vapor and water), collected from fumaroles, hot springs and drilled wells at the Earth’s surface (25oC) is determined in the laboratory. Using the chemical geothermometers, conservation of mass, ...
متن کاملGeothermal Exploration Methods
A geothermal reservoir causes inhomogeneity in the physical properties of the subsurface geology due to the high changes in temperature. These physical properties can be ob‐ served by means of varying anomalies from geophysical observations from the surface. These physical properties include electrical conductivity, rock density, magnetic suscepti‐ bility, rock elasticity, and, finally, the tem...
