Groundwater Chemistry and Overpressure Evidences in Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field [PDF]

Geofluids, 2017
In order to understand the geological and hydrogeological processes influencing the hydrogeochemical behavior of the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field (CP) aquifer, Mexico, a characterization of the water samples collected from geothermal wells was carried ...

3D Volumetric Strain Distribution of the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field Inferred From Inverse Modeling of InSAR and Leveling Data

Geophysical Research Letters
Advanced Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data has led to an extensive observation of Earth's surface displacements. Whereas the combined use of high‐resolution InSAR, leveling and GPS data may enable highly detailed three‐dimensional ...

Numerical modeling of high-temperature deep wells in the Cerro Prieto geothermal field, Mexico [PDF]

Geofísica Internacional, 1999
A numerical modeling study of three non-producing deep geothermal wells from Cerro Prieto is presented. We compute the expected production characteristics of these wells in order to determine if their inability to sustain flow was due to (i) heat loss ...

Exploration and Development of the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field [PDF]

Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1984
Summary A multidisciplinary effort to locate, delineate, and characterize the geothermal system at Cerro Prieto field, Baja California, Mexico, began in the late 1950's. It led to the identification of an important high-temperature, liquid-dominated geothermal system which went into production in 1973.

Spatio-temporal evolution of aseismic ground deformation in the Mexicali Valley (Baja California, Mexico) from 1993 to 2010, using differential SAR interferometry [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015
Ground deformation in Mexicali Valley, Baja California, Mexico, the southern part of the Mexicali-Imperial valley, is influenced by active tectonics and human activity, mainly that of geothermal fluid extraction in the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field ...

Research and Development on Coatings and Paints for Geothermal Environments: A Review

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 8, Issue 18, September 25, 2023., 2023
Geothermal power production, by harnessing the natural heat in the earth's crust, provides clean energy, with year‐round availability. However, corrosion, erosion, and scaling of power plant components can hinder energy production. In his review paper, the first of its kind since 1980, a detailed overview of research studies on coatings developed to ...

Reframing the magnetotelluric phase tensor for monitoring applications: improved accuracy and precision in strike determinations

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
The magnetotelluric method is increasingly being used to monitor electrical resistivity changes in the subsurface. One of the preferred parameters derived from the surface impedance is the strike direction, which is very sensitive to changes in the ...

Subsidence monitoring with geotechnical instruments in the Mexicali Valley, Baja California, Mexico [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015
The Mexicali Valley (northwestern Mexico), situated in the southern part of the San Andreas fault system, is an area with high tectonic deformation, recent volcanism, and active seismicity.

Cerro prieto and its relation to the gulf of California spreading centers

Ciencias Marinas, 1996
The Cerro Prieto geothermal field is located in the Mexicali Valley, Baja California. Tectonically, this northern part of the Gulf of California has been classified as a spreading center, within a transitional area of oceanic to continental conditions ...
