Abstract

The chemical index or molar ratio Na/K, acts as good indicator of high hydrothermal activity zones in the Cerro Prieto geothermal field, i.e., drillholes with a 6 Na/K ratio have bottom temperatures of 370°C and 70 kg/cm 2 of pressure at the wellhead, and on the other hand, drillholes with high Na/K proportion such as 16 units, have only 160°C at the bottom and 3 kg/cm 2 of pressure at the wellhead. That indicates the utility of the Na/K ratio; which as well as being indicative of the high stream production zones, helps to determine the underground water distribution and migration, with acceptable results.
