WELLS
- S Sec. 32, T32N, R33E. Well P32-2 cored interbedded siliceous sinter and lacustrine deposits from surface to total depth of 500 feet. Samples from this core will be used for detailed geochemical, geochronological and petrographic analyses.
- NENW Sec 10, T31N, R33E - 1000 feet of core were recovered from the 1500-foot P10-1 well. Numerous fractures with silica cement and siliceous zones have been observed in the core. Analyses will be conducted on the core to determine the geochemical characteristics of fluids that have reacted with the rock during different time periods.
- NW Sec. 3, T31N, NENE Sec. 5, T31N, NENE Sec32, T32N, R33E - These three wells (P3-1, P5-1, and P32-1) have been drilled as temperature gradient boreholes. They have been drilled to a total depth of 1000 feet per well to provide data from below shallow geothermal plumes to determine whether the surface feature and shallow temperatures are artifacts of a single lateral discharge plume or individual parallel faults each hosting separate geothermal discharge cells. Wells P5-1 and P32-1 have been rotary drilled to 1000 feet. Well P3-1 was rotary drilled to 651 feet before losing circulation into a fractured zone. To achieve the projected total depth of 1000 feet following lost circulation, the well was cored from 651 feet to 1000 feet total depth.
