GDManager: a Development in the Management, Interpretation and Representation of Geothermal Field Data

Abstract

Geothermal exploration, development and production involves the collection and collationof large quantitiesof raw data. Interpretation of this data involves access to the data by scientists and engineers both within and outside their particular fieldsof expertise. This leads to the concept of a software environment which provides both managementof data and the ability to execute standard interpretation and graphing routines. This papers describes the development of a PC computer package for the management, interpretation and graphical representation of data collected during all phases of geothermal exploration, development and production programmes.
