| Abstract | The East Brawley KGRA is an example of a "blind" geothermal field characteristic of the Imperial Valley, California. Deep wells in the area have encountered brine with temperatures exceeding 200°C at depths of 3 to 4 km. The area of the geothermal field is defined by a local gravity maximum closure of about 5 mgals, a coincident heat flow anomaly with closure of 160 to 180 mWm-2, and an apparent resistivity low of about 3 ohm-m. |
