Abstract

At the present time, geophysical well logs are not calibrated for igneous and metamorphic lithologies or for fracture porosity. These geologic conditions are routinely encountered in geothermal reservoirs and geothermal fields. Three large calibrations models or test pits are presently being fabricated. Each calibration model will be constructed of large stone clocks which have a cored borehole and wire sawn simulated fractures. Details of the sites pit size, simulated fracture locations, rock type of each test pit, and location and access of these pits are discussed.
