Abstract Geophysical studies at Wairakei started shortly after investigationsbegan and have made a major contribution to defining the geothermal system and to the changes which in the as a of production. The most successful tools have been the electrical resistivity technique for delimiting the field, and heat flow, and monitoring for helping to the production-induced changes. Seismic, gravity and magnetic anomaly techniques have had only limited success.
