| Abstract | Rock property measurements were conducted at the Terra Tek, Inc. geothermal test facility under simulated in situ conditions to characterize the matrix permeability sandstones of the East Mesa KGRA, Imperial Valley of California. Testing of the geothermal reservoir material included: electrical resistivity's, mechanical response, thermal conductivities, permeability and thermal expansion. Data is also included on the physical and mineralogical properties of the sandstone. The authors have described the test configuration used to determine individual rock properties, summarized the results in graphical form and drawn relevant conclusions. |
