Well Logging
Methods used to survey and characterize the physical and geological characteristics along and near the wall of a well, including the temperature, pressure, fracture density, fracture orientation, porosity, rock type, casing integrity, and fluid chemistry.
Geothermal Glossary
Word of the Week – Conduction
Conduction For geothermal applications, this refers to heat transfer in solids where thermal energy flows via microscopic-submicroscopic collisions of particles, which at a macro level is seen as solid-state diffusion. A vertical conductive thermal gradient is linear...
Word of the Week – Convection
Convection Refers to heat transfer by fluid circulation in permeable rocks where thermal energy is transported with the flow of hot fluid (water or steam).
Word of the Week – Cooling Tower
Cooling Tower Plant equipment that is used to dissipate heat into air rather than into a river. Cooling is induced in two different ways. For binary plants, dry cooling towers use fans to draw air across a heat exchanger and this removes heat from a working fluid...
