Abstract
Los Alamos National Laboratory has participated in a program of geothermal resource and field development in central America (in the countries of Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama) since 1985. One portion of this involvement included utilizing high temperature well logging tools that had been developed at Los Alamos of the Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Project. These tools were successfully used a three different geothermal field locations: Miravalles in Costa Rica, Ahuachapan in El Salvador, and Zunil in Guatemala.
