Determination of the viscosity and its uncertainty in drilling fluids used for geothermal well completion: application in the Los Humeros field, Puebla, Mexico
Drilling the hard-rock found in and around geothermal systems for the completion of wells is widely recognized as a difficult and cosily task. Drilling fluids of high viscosity (also called muds) are required for the well ...
Thermal sensitivity analysis of emplacement of the magma chamber in Los Humeros caldera, Puebla, Mexico
We present results of our simulation study of the effects of the depth (top of the magma chamber at 5-10 km) and volume (1000-1400 km3) of the primary heat source beneath the Los Humeros caldera. The thermal gradient in ...
Optimal discretization time and mesh size in three-dimensional temperature field simulation in two Mexican geothermal fields
The sensitivity of neither the discretization time nor the mesh size is yet known in thermal modeling of geothermal systems. We determined their effect and optimal values in three-dimensional modeling of a magma chamber ...
