Exploration Basis

Geothermometry analysis was done on geothermal fluids from the first production well to estimate the reservoirs temperature at deeper depths.

Notes

Chalcedony and sodium-potassium-calcium geothermometers were analyzed in geothermal fluids from the first production well. The chalcedony geothermometer indicated reservoir temperatures of 161 C and the sodium-potassium-calcium geothermometer indicated reservoir temperatures of 177 C.
