Borehole acoustic image logs present meaningful information about some petrophysical
properties of a reservoir. The identification of these features, in addition to several …

The exploration, drilling, and development of high-temperature hydrothermal geothermal
resources usually borrow ideas from the oil and gas industry. However, some techniques in …

Abstract The Snake River Plain (SRP) volcanic province overlies the track of the
Yellowstone hotspot, a thermal anomaly that extends deep into the mantle. Most of the area …

Play Fairway Analysis (PFA) is a methodology adapted from the petroleum industry that
integrates data at the regional or basin scale to define favorable plays for exploration in a …

Full knowledge of the current tectonic stress state is crucial for assessing open-pit mine
slope stability and regional tectonic evolution and geodynamic processes. Overcoring …

ABSTRACT The Snake River Plain (SRP) volcanic province has long been considered a
target for geothermal development. It overlies a thermal anomaly that extends deep into the …

The third‐order elastic (TOE) model has been used to describe the widely observed
nonlinear mechanical behaviors of earth materials. In addition to linear elastic constants (λ …

Abstract The Snake River Plain of central Idaho represents the world's best example of a
mantle hotspot track im**ing upon continental crust and provides a record of bimodal …

A geothermal exploration corehole was drilled to a total depth of 1821.5 m on the Mountain
Home Air Force Base near Mountain Home, Idaho. The corehole was used to collect an …

Deep geothermal energy is of great strategic importance for the development of the energy
industry. In the process of geothermal energy extraction, temperature changes will …
