3-D Geologic Controls of Hydrothermal Fluid Flow at Brady geothermal field, Nevada, USA

Journal Article Siler, Drew L. ; Pepin, Jeff D. - Geothermics

In many hydrothermal systems, fracture permeability along faults provides pathways for groundwater to transport heat from depth. Faulting generates a range of deformation styles that cross-cut heterogeneous geology, resulting in complex patterns of permeability, porosity, and hydraulic conductivity. Vertical connectivity (a throughgoing network of permeable areas that allows advection of heat from depth to the shallow subsurface) is rare and is confined to relatively small volumes that have highly variable spatial distribution. This local compartmentalization of connectivity represents a significant challenge to understanding hydrothermal circulation and for exploring, developing, and managing hydrothermal resources. Here, we present an evaluation of themore »« less

A review and analysis of geothermal exploratory drilling results in the Northern Basin and Range Geologic Province of the USA from 1974 through 1981

Journal Article Edmiston, R C - Trans. - Geotherm. Resour. Counc.; (United States)

The Northern Basin and Range Geologic Province of the western USA has been widely recognized as a highly prospective area for high temperature geothermal reservoirs. Yet only six apparent discoveries resulted from the drilling of 53 geothermal wildcat wells in this area from 1974 through 1981. This relatively low success rate can be partly attributed to the difficulty of developing accurate geological and geophysical models in this area prior to drilling. However, it may also indicate that large high temperature geothermal reservoirs may be less common in this area than thought previously.

Geothermal Reservoir Assessment Case Study: Northern Basin and Range Province, Leach Hot Springs Area, Pershing County, Nevada. Final report, April 1979-December 1981

Technical Report Beard, G A

A Geothermal Reservoir Assessment Case Study was conducted in the Leach Hot Springs Known Geothermal Resource Area of Pershing County, Nevada. The case study included the drilling of twenty-three temperature gradient wells, a magnetotelluric survey, seismic data acquisition and processing, and the drilling of one exploratory well. Existing data from prior investigations, which included water geochemistry, gravity, photogeologic reports and a hydrothermal alteration study, was also provided. The exploratory well was drilled to total depth of 8565' with no significant mud losses or other drilling problems. A maximum temperature of 260/sup 0/F was recorded at total depth.
