Discussion between a reservoir engineer and a geologist: permeability identification from completion test data and borehole image logs integration
Massiot, Cécile; McLean, K.; McNamara, David D.; Sepulveda, F.; Milicich, Sarah D. (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 ... -
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. ... -
Volcanic texture identification and influence on permeability using a borehole resistivity image log in the Whakamaru Group Ignimbrite, Wairakei Geothermal Field, New Zealand
Milicich, Sarah D.; Massiot, Cécile; McNamara, David D. (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 ...
