Fracture width and spacing distributions from borehole televiewer logs and cores in the Rotokawa Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(International Geothermal Association, 2015-04-19)
The successful targeting of permeable fractures in geothermal fields is aided by understanding the spatial and geometric characteristics of fracture populations. Studies of numerous outcrop, and a limited number of geothermal ...
Exploring structure and stress from depth to surface in the Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(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, ...
Geothermal structural geology in New Zealand: Innovative characterisation and micro-analytical techniques
(International Geothermal Association, 2016-11-23)
Many of New Zealand's geothermal reservoirs are hosted in rocks with low intrinsic permeability. As such, successful development of these resources relies on understanding the role subsurface structures, such as fractures ...
Volcanic texture identification and influence on permeability using a borehole resistivity image log in the Whakamaru Group Ignimbrite, Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering, 2018-02-12)
Discerning the contributions to fluid flow in a geothermal reservoir from intrinsic and structural permeability components is an
important, yet difficult task. High-quality, resistivity borehole image log data (Formation ...
Discussion between a reservoir engineer and a geologist: permeability identification from completion test data and borehole image logs integration
(39th New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2017-11-22)
The location of permeable zones, and preliminary quantification of a geothermal well’s production or injection capacity are routinely interpreted from well pressure, temperature, and flow measurements made at different ...
