Isotope and Chemical techniques in
Geothermal Exploration, Development and Use: Sampling Methods, Data Handling,
Interpretation
This publication, edited by Stéfan Arnórsson, is
designed as an instructional manual of essential nuclear and complementary methodologies
for a multidisciplinary approach to geothermal exploration development and monitoring. It
provides comprehensive procedures for carrying out isotope and geochemical investigations
of geothermal systems, i.e. sampling, analysis and data interpretation. It will be a
valuable source of information for geoscientists working in geothermal, but also for those
working in cold water projects, due to the similarity of methods and principles of
investigations applied.
Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Strategy in geothermal
exploration, development and production; 3. Chemical reactions and chemical equilibria; 4.
Reactive and conservative components; 5. Isotopes for geothermal investigations; 6. The
source of chemical and isotopic components in geothermal fluids; 7. Geothermal
manifestations and hydrothermal alteration; 8. Sampling of geothermal fluids: On-site
measurements and sample treatment; 9. Presentation of analytical results, analytical
precision and accuracy; 10. Geothermometry; 11. Mixing processes in upflow zones and
mixing models; 12. Assessment of reservoir fluid composition from wet steam well data; 13.
Hydrogen and oxygen isotopic fractionation during; 14. Mineral saturation; 15. Estimation
of aquifer steam fraction; 16. Monitoring of reservoir response to production.
