Comparing borehole televiewer logs with continuous core: An example from New Zealand
(International Geothermal Association, 2015-04-19)
The use of borehole televiewer logging is a recent addition to the well logging toolkit available to the geothermal industry in New Zealand. The information acquired from borehole televiewer (BHTV) equipment, such as the ...
Modelling fluid flow through fractured rock: Examples using TVZ geothermal reservoirs
(New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2015-11-18)
Geothermal resources are often hosted within volcanic, plutonic, and basement-type lithologies. As such their matrix permeability can be very low and the transport and circulation of geothermal fluids will be dominated by ...
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 ...
A review of the Rotokawa Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(Elsevier, 2015-07-29)
The Rotokawa Geothermal Field of New Zealand has seen significant development over the last 20 years and has been the study site for new and innovative geological and geothermal research. This includes the one of the first ...
Heterogeneity of structure and stress in the Rotokawa Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2015-02-12)
Geometric characterization of a geothermal reservoir's structures, and their relation to stress field orientation, is vital for resource development. Subsurface structure and stress field orientations of the Rotokawa ...
New Zealand geothermal power plants as critical facilities: an active fault avoidance study in the Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
(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. ...
Feasibility of storing carbon dioxide on a tectonically active margin: New Zealand
(American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2015-09-13)
New Zealand's sedimentary basins was found to have available several gigatonnes of CO2 storage capacity. However, CO2 storage is currently untested in New Zealand. The country's position on an active Neogene plate boundary ...
