| Abstract | Borehole electrical geophysical methods have considerable potential for helping define hot and permeable zones in geothermal system's Borehole geophysics differs from geophysical well logging and has a much greater area of search around a borehole. Very little developmental work has taken place in borehole electrical methods to date. UURI has been developing computer methods to model various electrical arrays for borehole configurations. We plan to compare the many possible survey methods and then design a field system based on the method that appears from the computer studies to be optimum. |
