Abstract
Applying a simple. columnar model to fissured basement rocks including a geothermal reservoir at depth under a geothermal field, a formula determining the bulk permeabi I ity of the rocks is derived under some assumptions and approximations. Estimate of the bulk permeabi I ity is carried out for the eight geothermal fields in Japan. It is shown that several field data support the estimated bulk permeabi I ity.
