The research was conducted at the Geothermal Company Energy Lx Area. area includes three well pads of geothermal power plants, namely X1, X2, and X3, which are stratigraphically composed quaternary volcanic rocks. Based on geochemical data pad, it shows that chloride type fluid is in equilibrium/partial equilibrium with reservoir temperature range 230 – 300°C from silica Na-K geothermometer ana...

The availability of rare earth elements from primary resources has come into question in the last two decades. This has sparked various government and industry initiatives to examine potential rare earth element resources apart from virgin ore bodies. Geothermal fluids are potentially significant sources of valuable minerals and metals, while co-recovery with geothermal energy production would ...

A technology based upon analyses of InSAR surveys of incremental deformations over an operating geothermal field is emerging that might serve to monitor steam cap migrations on a timescale of weeks. Based upon theory developed in Horowitz and Hornby (in prep.), one can compute a harmonic potential field that has dilatational sources and sinks from 3 component surface displacement increment surv...

The utilization of geothermal energy has a long tradition in Hungary. When the present economic recession in the country ends in the near future, geothermal energy will surely play an increasing role in the energy supply. The paper shortly reviews the history of geothermal power use and discusses the present state of geothermal energy production in the country. Present power statistics as well ...

Measurement of the concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) in geothermal fluids and associated altered rocks holds promise as a potential aid in exploration for and exploitation of geothermal fields of economic importance. We have initiated a research program which will provide the basis for assessing this potential. The project involves measuring the REE content of fluids from a variety of...

As part of the initial assessment of the geothermal power potential of Indonesia an electronic model, (IGSEP), Mahon, (1987), was developed to prioritise the most favourable resources and determine the least cost development scenarios for generating geothermal electricity. The model was tested and assessed using data from 100 different geothermal prospects in the country. This involved research...

Geothermal waters from springs and wells are currently used in eight spas and water centers in Poland. These resorts have a long and interesting history, being an important part among all the health spas in the country. The demand for geothermal curative and recreation services offered in spas constantly increases. The paper presents several cases of geothermal resorts and some examples of init...

Renewable energy is seen as the future source for meeting the world’s growing demand, with geothermal offering a constant and independent supply. Tapping geothermal energy is not always straightforward as deep drilling is required in order to access this high -temperature resource. Geothermal drilling is expensive and is financed by the operator (usually districts or state representatives) with...
