| Abstract | The Northern Negros Geothermal Field in the northwestern slope of Canlaon Volcano, Negros Occidental province, Philippines is a high temperature (290oC) liquid-dominated geothermal system with an upflow region southeast of the presently drilled sector and a major outflow towards the northwest. The heat source is associated with volcanism at a post-Canlaon caldera eruption center (Hardin Sang Balo) 3 km south of the main production pad. Reserve estimates predict a potential resource of 42-63 MWe for the field, which the Philippine National Oil Company - Energy Development Corporation will develop into a 40 MWe power project. |
