Applications of Geochemistry in Geothermal Reservoir Engineering
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In study of chemical compositions of geothermal effluents, a literature survey indicates a very broad range of concentrations on chemical constituents. This is primarily due to the fact that chemical compositions of host rocks vary widely depending upon their origin, geological setting, depth, etc.Chemical compositions of geothermal effluents provide an important information on the origins of the deep geothermal systems, including water-rock interactions, mineral solubilities and ion-exchange equilibria, which can be measured and calculated directly. Hence, chemical compositions can allow us to obtain some physical parameters, for example, temperature, porosity and permeability. These physical parameters may be used for reservoir engineering type of calculations; and the qualitative values are used for confirming the values obtained from conventional methods.Some trace elements and heavy metals cause potential environmental and operational hazards, such as corrosion, scaling, pollution, etc.
