The results of a petrophysical study performed on several wells in the East Mesa area of the Imperial Valley of California are presented. The wells were drilled on and around the geothermal anomaly that constitutes the East Mesa Field. The study was subdivided into two tasks, the first dealing with three recently drilled wells, the second dealing with four older wells that lie off the geothermal anomaly. In each case the objective of the petrophysical study was to determine porosities, permeabilities and salinities in requested intervals, together with the selection of the best sand/shale discriminator. The computed results have been reported in table and listing form to show average values of porosity, horizontal and vertical permeabilities together with gross interval, net sand, percent sand and darcy-feet tabulations, layered in 250 foot intervals throughout each well.
