Electromagnetic Geothermometry explores, presents and explains the new
technique of temperature estimation within the Earth’s interior; the
Electromagnetic technique will identify zones of geothermal anomalies
and thus provides locations for deep drilling. This book includes many
case studies from geothermal areas such as Travale (Italy),
Soultz-sous-Forêts (France) and Hengill (Iceland), allowing the
author and reader to draw conclusions regarding the dominating heat
transfer mechanisms, location of its sources and to constrain the
locations for drilling of the new boreholes.
Covering a topic that so far has very little coverage (due to its
newness) Electromagnetic Geothermometry presents ground breaking
information on the interpretation of MT signals. And as such, is
similar to the work that was done to develop new generations of
seismic inversion methods that have since come to dominate the oil
industry.
Up until now geophysical methods have had difficulty resolving
temperature differences which have been critical in the understanding
of location and magnitude of geothermal resources
* Authored by the world’s foremost electromagnetic geothermometry
experts who combined have more than 40 years of experience on the
subject
* Presents case studies, allowing the author and reader to draw
conclusions regarding the dominating heat transfer mechanisms,
location of its sources and to constrain the locations for drilling of
the new boreholes
* Provides important information on the constraints for drilling of
new exploration boreholes
* Describes theories that will dramatically decrease the costs
associated with exploration drilling
* Includes information to help the reader improve the accuracy of the
temperature estimations in the interwell space as well as far beneath
boreholes
