Field-Scale Geothermal Tracer Tests [Final CRADA Report]
The potential use of reactive tracers for estimating migration of a cold front between an injection well and a production well in a geothermal reservoir is studied to investigate application of reactive tracers to monitoring the thermal evolution of a geothermal reservoir. Aspects considered in this study include (1) mathematical investigation of the sensitivity of known and hypothetical reactive tracers, (2) laboratory testing of novel tracers that would improve method sensitivity, (3) a software tool for design and interpretation of reactive tracer tests and (4) field testing of the reactive tracer temperature monitoring concept at the Raft River geothermal field.
