Fracture geometries and processes in andesites at Mt Ruapehu, New Zealand: implications for the fracture modelling of the Rotokawa Geothermal Field
(Le Consortium Gocad, 2014-09-16)
Fluid flow in the high-temperature (300 C), andesite-hosted Rotokawa geothermal reservoir (Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ), New Zealand) is largely controlled by fractures and faults but their geometries are still poorly ...
A damage mechanics approach to modeling failure in Greywacke rock
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2014)
Fracture networks within greywacke basement rocks often control fluid flow in geothermal reservoirs in New Zealand. Thermal, hydrological, chemical, and mechanical processes affect the evolution of these fracture networks. ...
Processing and analysis of high temperature geothermal acoustic borehole image logs in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2014-06-19)
Acoustic borehole televiewer (BHTV) logs provide direct observations of lithology,
structure and in-situ stress in reservoirs, essential for successful well targeting
and field management. Analyses of BHTV logs acquired ...
Rock properties of Greywacke Basement hosting geothermal reservoirs, New Zealand: preliminary results
(Stanford University, 2014-02-24)
Geothermal resources in New Zealand are known to be hosted in greywacke basement rocks. Fluid flow in these reservoirs and the wells that access them is controlled by fracture networks. As such it is of vital importance ...
