Overview of Cerro Prieto studies
The studies performed on the Cerro Prieto geothermal field, Mexico, since the late 1950s are summarized. Emphasis is given to those activities leading to the identification of the sources of heat and mass, the fluid flow ...
Exploration and development of the Cerro Prieto geothermal field.

Some aspects of the response of geothermal reservoirs to brine reinjection with application to the Cerro Prieto field
It has become generally accepted that reinjection will be necessary for optimizing the exploitation of a geothermal field. Not only does this afford a way to solve the problem of disposing cooled geothermal brine, but it ...
A review of the hydrogeologic-geochemical model for Cerro Prieto
With continued exploitation of the Cerro Prieto, Mexico, geothermal field, there is increasing evidence that the hydrogeologic model developed by Halfman and co-workers presents the basic features controlling the movement ...
Geologic interpretation of geothermal fluid movement in Cerro Prieto field, Baja California, Mexico
A geologic model of the liquid-dominated Cerro Prieto geothermal field was developed on the basis of geophysical and lithologic well logs. The direction of subsurface geothermal fluid flow before exploitation, and the ...
Prediction of reinjection effects in the Cerro Prieto geothermal system
The response of the Cerro Prieto geothermal field to different reinjection schemes is predicted using a two-dimensional vertical reservoir model with single- or two-phase flow. The advance of cold fronts and pressure changes ...
Well interference tests at the Cerro Prieto geothermal field
Two well interference tests were carried out by the LBL at the Cerro Prieto geothermal field located in Baja California, Mexico, during 1978. The first test incorporated five wells located about 1 km south of the power ...
Preliminary simulation studies related to the Cerro Prieto field
It is of primary concern in developing a geothermal field to determine the size of the resource and the long-term response of the reservoir to significant fluid withdrawals. In most instances, only after a number of surveys ...
Simulation of reinjection at Cerro Prieto using an idealized two-reservoir model
Most of the papers published on the hydrodynamic and thermal effects of reinjection in geothermal fields assume a single reservoir with uniform transmissivity and storativity. However, there is evidence that the Cerro ...
Numerical studies of the heat and mass transport in the Cerro Prieto Geothermal Field, Mexico
Numerical simulation techniques are employed in studies of the natural flow of heat and mass through the Cerro Prieto reservoir, Mexico and of the effects of exploitation on the field's behavior. The reservoir model is a ...
