| Abstract | The geothermal fields of El Salvador have been monitored through pressure and temperature (PT) logs since the 1960s to track variations in thermodynamic properties over time. In the early years, mechanical tools were used for wellbore logging, leading to inconsistencies such as unexpected deviations, abrupt trend changes, and values dropping to zero due to equipment failures or human errors during manual data transcription. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a tool for the optimal correction of approximately 5,000 records and the update of the historical database of well logs by integrating Python and SQL. This approach enhances the management and utilization of geothermal data in LaGeo by optimizing well-life records, which are crucial for the efficient operation of geothermal power plants and the accuracy of technical analyses. Ultimately, this contribution aims to improve the sustainability and efficiency of geothermal energy production in El Salvador by providing reliab |
