- Comision Federal de Electricidad, Morelia (Mexico)
Chemical and isotopic analyses of fluids produced by wells the Los Azuftes, Michoacan, geothermal field, have been studied to establish a geochemical model of the field. Water produced by the wells has a sodium-chloride composition characteristic of geothermal brine. This to be in equilibrium with the host rock at temperatures which vary from 280{degrees}C to 340{degrees}C. Based on steam data, the wells are producing from a liquid dominanted zone. The isotopic composition of the wells presents a shift with respect to meteoric line of {delta}{sup 18}O typical to fluids of geothermal origin which have equilibrated with rock at high temperatures.
