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, ... -
Late-interseismic state of a continental plate-bounding fault: Petrophysical results from DFDP-1 wireline logging and core analysis, Alpine Fault, New Zealand
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2013)We present a geophysical characterization at 0.1-100 m scales of a major plate-bounding continental fault in a late-interseismic state. The Alpine Fault produces M-W approximate to 8 earthquakes every 200-400 years and ...
