Exploration Activity: Chemical Logging At North Brawley Geothermal Area (Department, 1979)

Exploration Activity Details
Location	North Brawley Geothermal Area
Exploration Technique	Chemical Logging
Activity Date	1979 - 1979
Usefulness	useful
DOE-funding	Unknown

Exploration Basis

Chemical logs were made from well fluids for analysis when designing the first experimental power plant

Notes

Detailed logs of well fluids were recorded. Non-condensable gases and dissolved solids were analyzed in geothermal fluids from two wells. Total non-condensable gas measured in weight percent of steam is between 7.1 and 9.4%. Silica concentrations are 527 mg/l and total dissolved solids measure 82,900 mg/l.
