Abstract
ABSTRACT Since the initial drilling in 1959 within the Beowawe Geothermal field in north-central Nevada, USA, a total of 16 wells have been drilled. The source of the hot low salinity fluid is believed to be in Lower Paleozoic carbonates at depths approaching 20,000 to 30,000 feet (6100-9100 m). The geothermal fluid flows upward from the carbonates by way of a complicated series of faults, charges permeable horizons along the way and finally discharges at the surface. Numerous flow tests, buildups, interference tests, and injectivity tests have been conducted on eight of these wells. All data indicates that the geologically complicated 3eowawe system is very prolific and fed by a very large reservoir.
