Abstract
Estimation of salinity profile in producing geothermal wells is of great importance in subsurface mapping and in designing the well completion. Well logs have traditionally been used to estimate R and hence salinity, in sedimentary type oil field reservoirs. Geothermal reservoirs introduce complexities which can lead to errors in interpretation of well log data using existing oil field correlations. This paper presents a review of certain aspects of the problem with examples from the Cerro Prieto field in Mexico.
