Structural analysis and thermal remote sensing of the Los Humeros Volcanic Complex: Implications for volcano structure and geothermal exploration
(Elservier, 2015)The Los Humeros Volcanic Complex (LHVC) is an important geothermal target in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. Understanding the structure of the LHVC and its influence on the occurrence of thermal anomalies and hydrothermal ... -
Fluid circulation and reservoir conditions of the Los Humeros Geothermal Field (LHGF), Mexico, as revealed by a noble gas survey
(Elservier, 2017)Los Humeros Geothermal Field (LHGF) is one of four geothermal fields currently operating in Mexico, in exploitation since 1990. Located in a caldera complex filled with very low-permeability rhyolitic ignimbrites that are ... -
Subsurface stratigraphy and its correlation with the surficial geology at Los Humeros geothermal field, eastern Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt
(Elservier, 2017)Los Humeros is one of the main Pleistocene silicic volcanic complexes and the third geothermal field in exploitation in Mexico. It is located in the eastern sector of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt (TMVB) and has a long ... -
Soil degassing at the Los Humeros geothermal field (Mexico)
(Elservier, 2018)The Los Humeros geothermal field is the third most important producer of geothermal electricity (70 MW) in Mexico. Geothermal fluids are hosted in fractured andesitic lavas and mostly consist of high enthalpy steam with ... -
Paleomagnetism of Holocene lava flows from Los Humeros caldera, eastern Mexico: Discrimination of volcanic eruptions and their age dating
(Elservier, 2018)Los Humeros caldera in eastern Mexico has been formed since about 164 ka, with important effusive activity during the upper Holocene, which covered more than 100 km2 with lava. Two lava flows were 14C dated at 2692-1950 cal ... -
The Los Humeros (Mexico) geothermal field model deduced from new geophysical and geological data
(Elservier, 2018)The Los Humeros volcanic complex, a 21 × 15 km diameter caldera edifice nesting volcanic domes and a complex faulting structure, is located at the eastern edge of the Trans-mexican volcanic belt (TMVB). It is a young edifice ... -
Reappraisal of Los Humeros Volcanic Complex by New U/Th Zircon and 40Ar/39Ar Dating: Implications for Greater Geothermal Potential
(Wiley Online Library, 2018)Longevity and size of magmatic systems are fundamental factors for assessing the potential of a geothermal field. At Los Humeros volcanic complex (LHVC), the first caldera‐forming event was reported at 460 ± 40 ka. New ... -
Evidence of a shallow magma reservoir below Los Humeros volcanic complex: Insights from the geochemistry of silicate melt inclusions
(Elservier, 2018)Los Humeros volcanic complex (Eastern Trans Mexican Volcanic belt) is one of the three most important geothermal fields in Mexico and is currently producing electricity (ca. 90 MW). It is therefore pertinent to constrain ... -
Gas geochemistry of the Los humeros, geothermal field, Mexico
Gas data of the Los Humeros geothermal field were analyzed. A new method which is based on the Fischer-Tropch reaction and on the combined pyrite-hematite and pyrite-magnetite mineral equilibria was used. Reservoir temperature ... -
Gravity study of Los Humeros caldera complex, Mexico - structure and associated geothermal system
Los Humeros caldera lies in the eastern portion of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. A geothermal system is associated with this silicic caldera. The volcano-sedimentary products of the caldera itself rest on a basement of ... -
Isotopy of fluids from Los Humeros system (Mexico)
Recent C, H and O isotope data in fluids from producing wells in the Los Humeros geothermal field and from natural springs related to the geothermal system are presented. Interpretation of data allowed to postulate a ...
