Exploration Activity: Direct-Current Resistivity Survey At Kilauea East Rift Geothermal Area (Kauahikaua & Klein, 1978)

Exploration Activity Details
Location	Kilauea East Rift Geothermal Area
Exploration Technique	Direct-Current Resistivity Survey
Activity Date	1973 - 1976
Usefulness	useful
DOE-funding	Unknown

 

Exploration Basis

This study was conducted to learn about and model the resistivity structures in the Puna area

 

Notes

Two bipole mapping surveys were conducted near well HGP-A. These surveys were done in conjunction with Dipole-dipole and electromagnetic transient soundings in order to learn about the resistivity structures in the Puna area. The bipole mapping helped to reinforce the findings from the other resistivity surveys conducted in the area.
