Description: 
The purposes of this paper are to review the stratigraphic and structural models which have been developed for The Geysers from surface mapping, propose a model which is the most compatible with drilling results and, based on the preferred model, show how stratigraphy and structure control the occurrence of steam.

Advances in Multiple-Legged Well Completion Methodology at the Geysers Geothermal Field, California

Basic Information
Author: 
Henneberger, R.C.
Author: 
Gardner, M.C.
Description: 
Drilling or recompletion of production wens with two or more producing wen bores is a technique that has been used successfully by several operators in the southwestern part of the Geysers field to increase well productivity and decrease the unit cost of steam production. 111e northwestern part of the field poses special difficulties for drilIing multiple-legged or "forked" wens, because of greater reservoir depth, higher reservoir temperatures, the need for narrower well completions, and less stable rock conditions. Three wells within the Adjacent project area of the northwest Geysers were recompleted as 2- and 3-legged producers during 1992-1993, using both existing and new methods for coping with the conditions in this part of the field. Total drilled depths of the producing legs were as much as 11,345 feet (3,458 m), and kickoff points were as deep as 7,895 feet (2,405 m) from 9-5/8-inch production casings. Reservoir temperatures in directionally drilled intervals reached in excess of 600°F (315°C).

Description: 
This addendum report presents the results of the California Division of Mines and Geology (CDMG) drilling program at Calistoga, California, which was the final geothermal-resource assessment investigation performed under terms of the second year contract (1979-80) between the u.s. Department of Energy (DOE) and the CDMG under the State Coupled Program. This report is intended to supplement information presented in CDMG's technical report for the project year, "Resource Assessment of Low-and Moderate-Temperature Geothermal Waters in Calistoga, Napa County, California."

Summary Geologic Report on Drilling in western Prescott and Williams Quadrangles. Mohave, Yavapai, and La Paz Counties, Arizona.

Basic Information
Author: 
L.W. Lease
Description: 
This drilling project in northwest Arizona consisted of 18 holes drilled to depths ranging from 1,341 to 5,491 feet. The holes were sited to determine the lateral extent of the Uranium-bearing strata. / Additional data to improve the resource estimates for the Date Creek and the Big Sandy basin.
