Title: Synergistic interpretation of formation characteristics of a low temperature geothermal well in Susanville, California

Conference · · Trans. - Geotherm. Resour. Counc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6741478

A synergistic interpretation of drilling logs, formation logs, production logs and pump test data, from a low temperature geothermal well is presented to yield the stratigraphic sequence and the nature and thickness of the permeable zones. The well penetrated fluvial and lake bed sediments (ash/clay/sand) with occasional basalt/andesite. An unconventional application of repeat temperature logging in a nearby well during the drilling of the subject well proved invaluable in locating permeable zones and in casing and completion.
