Exploring structure and stress from depth to surface in the Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
McNamara, David D.; Bannister, Stephen; Villamor, Pilar; Sepúlveda, Fabian; Milicich, Sarah D.; Alcaraz, Samantha; Massiot, Cécile (International Geothermal Association, 2016-02-22)Structures such as fractures and faults have an important role as fluid flow pathways in geothermal fields, as the reservoir rocks hosting geothermal resources can often have little to no intrinsic permeability. As such, ... -
New Zealand geothermal power plants as critical facilities: an active fault avoidance study in the Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
Villamor, Pilar; Clark, Kate; Watson, Matt; Rosenberg, Mike; Lukovic, Biljana; Ries, Willam; González, Álvaro; Milicich, Sarah D.; McNamara, David D.; Pummer, Bernd; Sepulveda, Fabian (International Geothermal Association, 2015-04-19)Active faults in rifts commonly provide high crustal permeability and control geothermal fluid pathways. However, active faults can also pose surface deformation hazards to geothermal power plants and associated infrastructure. ...
