Abstract
Geothermal resource exploration represents the riskiest phase in geothermal development, and the results of geological drilling serve as the most crucial reference for risk assessment. These results enhance the reliability of geothermal information, reduce upfront investment risks in geothermal development, and attract as well as facilitate corporate investment.
This article presents the outcomes of a fully cored geological exploration well (referred to as CGS-YP01), drilled to a depth of 800 meters in the eastern region of Taiwan. The content includes drilling cores and logs, electric well logging, in-hole pressure and temperature measurements, rock mechanics testing, and thermal conductivity analysis.
