Investigation and evaluation of geopressured-geothermal wells. Package No. 1 of wells-of-opportunity candidates
This group of wells-of-opportunity (WOO) consists of six candidates; one in Texas and five in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. Of the latter, two of three candidates are considered to be mutually exclusive in that each exhibits good potential for testing geopressured-geothermal aquifers which are indicated to be of sufficient volume for purposes of a 30-day test. A final selection of one location may be made from these three wells, assuming all pass screening criteria, based on estimated cost of the test and the negotiation of a satisfactory agreement with the owners of the surface and/or the minerals. Information is presented on the six candidates and a short write-up is included on one other well. (MHR)

Advanced turbodrills for geothermal wells
The development of a new high-temperature, 350/sup 0/C advanced turbodrill for use in drilling geothermal wells is underway. Existing downhole drilling motors are temperature limited because of elastomeric degradation at elevated temperature. The new turbodrill contains high-torque turbine blades and improved seals which allow higher bit pressure drops. This new geothermal turbodrill which is designed for improved directional drilling offers economic alternatives for completing geothermal wells. The advanced turbodrill will be tested in the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory's hot dry rock geothermal wells.

Radioactive mineral occurences of Colorado and bibliography. [2500 citations in bibliography]
This two-part report provides an essentially complete listing of radioactive occurrences in Colorado, with a comprehensive bibliography and bibliographic cross-indexes. Part 1 lists approximately 3000 known radioactive occurrences with their locations and brief accounts of the geology, mineralogy, radioactivity, host rock, production data, and source of data for each. The occurrences are classified by host rock and plotted on U.S. Geological Survey 1/sup 0/ x 2/sup 0/ topographic quadrangle maps with a special 1 : 100,000-scale base map for the Uravan mineral belt. Part 2 contains the bibliography of approximately 2500 citations on radioactive mineral occurrences in the state, with cross-indexes by county, host rock, and the special categories of ''Front Range,'' ''Colorado Plateau,'' and ''thorium.'' The term ''occurrence'' as used in this report is defined as any site where the concentration of uranium or thorium is at least 0.01% or where the range of radioactivity is greater than twice the background radioactivity. All citations and occurrence data are stored on computer diskettes for easy retrieval, correction, and updating.

Quaternary rhyolite from the Mineral Mountains, Utah, USA. Final report, Volume 77-10
A suite of silicic volcanic rocks is associated with the Roosevelt Hot Springs geothermal area in southwestern Utah. The volcanic sequence includes Tertiary rhyolite 8 My old and obsidian, ash and rhyolite of Quaternary age. The Quaternary lavas are characterized by high silica content (76.5% Si0/sub 2/) and total alkalies in excess of 9 percent. Obsidians commonly contain greater amounts of fluorine than water. Two older flows (0.8 My) can be distinguished from younger dome and pyroclastic material (approximately 0.5 My) by subtle differences in their chemistry. The mineralogy of the rhyolites consists of alkali feldspar, plagioclase, and small amounts of Fe-Ti oxides, biotite, hornblende and rare allanite. Fe-Ti oxide temperatures are 740 to 785/sup 0/C for the flows and 635 to 665/sup 0/C for the domes; two feldspar temperatures give similar results. The phase relationships of bulk rock, glass and feldspar compositions demonstrate that the younger Quaternary rhyolites could have been derived from the earlier magma type, represented by the obsidian flows, by a process of crystal fractionation. The major phases which must fractionate are alkali feldspar, plagioclase and quartz with minor amounts of biotite, magnetite and ilmenite participating also. Trace element patterns support this scheme as well. The …

Cementing of geothermal wells. Progress report No. 8, January--March 1978
Work to implement the program plan for the development of improved high temperature cementing materials for geothermal wells is continuing. Thermal gravimetric analysis studies on high temperature polymer cements indicated that formulations containing organosiloxane are thermally stable at 350/sup 0/C. Only slight (1%) weight losses at 400/sup 0/C were measured. Samples exposed for 10 days to 25% brine at 238/sup 0/C have not deteriorated. The relatively long curing time for some of the formulations (> 3 hr at 150/sup 0/C) enhances the probability of being able to pump the materials. Work to optimize polymer cement (PC) systems containing cross-linked mixtures of styrene, acrylonitrile, and acrylamide is continuing. Improvements in methods for curing the system have extended the thermal stability to the range 250/sup 0/ to 300/sup 0/C. Differential scanning calorimter and infra-red analysis studies are being performed on PC samples containing each of the chemical constituents of Type III portland cement and CaO compounds of anhydrous cements such as 3CaO . SiO/sub 2/, 2CaO . SiO/sub 2/, and 3CaO . Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/. The results indicate that 3CaO . SiO/sub 2/ derived from the chemical reaction between CaCO/sub 3/ and SiO/sub 2/ has a significant effect on the thermal stability …

Cementing of geothermal wells. Progress report No. 9, April--June 1978
Work to implement the program plan for the development of improved high temperature cementing materials for geothermal wells is continuing. Work on polymer cements containing mixtures of organosiloxanes and styrene is continuing to show the potential of the system as a high temperature cementing material. Samples exposed for 360 hr to brine at 250/sup 0/C have not shown evidence of hydrolysis and have maintained high strength. At 350/sup 0/C, the compressive strength is > 5000 psi. Preliminary tests to determine the pumpability of the system are in progress. Work on the development of inorganic cementing materials is continuing at six laboratories. Several promising materials have been identified. Tests to measure compressive strengths, bond strengths, permeability, and compatibility with drilling muds are in progress. Consistometer tests have been performed on some materials.

Cementing of geothermal wells. Progress report No. 10, July--September 1978
Work to implement the program plan for the development of improved high temperature cementing materials for geothermal wells is continuing. Experimental work has been completed at the Colorado School of Mines. Samples of ..beta..-dicalcium silicate-silica cement developed in this program have been submitted for additional evaluation. The initial screening portion of this work has identified several promising systems that will undergo more rigorous testing. Dynamic brine exposure testing of several systems has been initiated at the East Mesa Geothermal Test Facility. Testing at the Niland test site is scheduled to start soon. Property verification tests on cements produced in the materials development phase of the program were initiated at the Bureau of Standards. Preliminary data are available for five cements exposed for 176 h to water at a temperature of 195/sup 0/C. Three of the cements exhibited strength losses during the test. An aluminum hydroxide cement and a polymer cement showed slight increases in strength after the exposure. These and longer-term data will be utilized in the selection of a material for use in the remedial cementing of a hot dry rock well at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.

Monroe, Utah, Hydrothermal System: Results from Drilling of Test Wells MC1 and MC2
Following detailed geological (Parry et al., 1976; Miller, 1976) and geophysical (Mase, Chapman, and Ward, 1978; Kilty, Mase, and Chapman, 1978) studies of the Monroe, Utah hydrothermal system, a program of drilling two intermediate depth test wells was undertaken. The objectives of the test well drilling were three-fold: (1) to obtain structural information bearing on the poorly known dip of the Sevier Fault, (2) to obtain temperature information below the shallow depths (approximately 300 ft.) sampled in the first phase of exploration, and (3) to provide cased wells which could act as monitor wells during the production phase of the project. The test well drilling was seen to be vital to the selection of a site for a production well. This report describes the results from the drilling of the two test wells, designated MC1 and MC2, and offers interpretation of the hydrothermal system which may be used as a basis for selecting production wells.

Magnetotelluric investigations at the Roosevelt Hot Springs KGRA and Mineral Mountains, Utah. Topical report 78-1701. a. 6. 1
Twenty-five magnetotelluric (MT) sites were monitored. Amongst other MT functions, the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) apparent resistivity and impedance phase data were provided for the frequency range 3 x 10/sup -3/ Hz to 100 Hz. Some one-dimensional inversion results for this area yielded very low values of estimated true resistivity. Such values are unrealistic in light of established notions about conductivity mechanisms in earth materials. Furthermore, the assembly of such inversions to form a crude two-dimensional model has yielded a calculated 2-D pseudosection far removed from the observed pseudosection. Trial-and-error modeling has provided a better fit although strong differences between observed and modeled data remain and cannot be overcome by any purely two-dimensional model. The most noteworthy difficulty is the presence of exaggerated contrasts in apparent resistivity persisting to the lowest frequency of observation for both modes of wave excitation. Single-conductor, 2-D, TE and TM modeling may explain such problems in terms of three-dimensional effects. Electrical strike estimation may be a meaningless endeavour in a strongly three-dimensional area. The total fields do not decompose into the standard principal modes (TE and TM) and H/sub z/ depends on horizontal derivatives of both electric field components. Multiple symmetry axes …
