1991 Yearly calibration of Pacific Northwest Laboratory's gross gamma-ray borehole geophysical logging system

Description: This report describes the 1991 yearly calibration of a gross gamma-ray geophysical pulse logging system owned by the US Department of Energy (DOE) and operated by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory. The calibration was conducted to permit the continued use of this system for geologic and hydrologic studies associated with remedial investigations at the Hanford Site. Primary calibrations to equivalent uranium units were conducted in DOE borehole model standards that reside on the Hanford Site. The… more

Trends in exploration and exploration equipment for uranium

Description: Uranium exploration once again is in a ''boom'' cycle. The energy needs of the OPEC and non-OPEC countries alike have created a demand for uranium which appears certain to increase in future years. In turn, this demand has stimulated a dramatic rise in both the price of uranium and the exploration activity necessary to discover new reserves. One immediate reaction to the sudden increase in uranium exploration activity has been the evaluation of old exploration methods and equipment. This paper … more

Basic data report for drillhole WIPP 19 (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant-WIPP)

Description: WIPP 19 is an exploratory borehole whose objective was to determine the nature of the near-surface formations after seismic information indicated a possible fault. The borehole is located in section 20, T.22S., R.31E., in eastern Eddy County, New Mexico, and was drilled between April 6 and May 4, 1978. The hole was drilled to a depth of 1038.2 feet and encountered, from top to bottom, surficial Holocene deposits (7', including artificial fill for drill pad), the Mescalero caliche (7'), the Sant… more

Lithologic descriptions and temperature profiles of five wells in the southwestern Valles caldera region, New Mexico

Description: The subsurface stratigraphy and temperature profiles of the southern and western Valles caldera region have been well constrained with the use of data from the VC-1, AET-4, WC 23-4, PC-1 and PC-2 wells. Data from these wells indicate that thermal gradients west of the caldera margin are between 110 and 140)degrees)C/km, with a maximum gradient occurring in the bottom of PC-1 equal to 240)degrees)C/km as a result of thermal fluid flow. Gradients within the caldera reach a maximum of 350)degrees)… more

Preliminary targeting of geothermal resources in Delaware. Progress report, July 15, 1978-July 14, 1979

Description: Results of temperature logging the five DOE 1000 foot test wells in Delaware indicate that the potential is good for a relatively low temperature geothermal resource (temperatures less than about 80/sup 0/C). A preliminary Bouguer gravity map was made for portions of Kent and Sussex counties in order to detect gravity anomalies possibly related to granitic plutons. The map indicates a gravity low trending northeast-southwest across Sussex County that could be indicative of other structural feat… more

Study of well logs from Cove Fort-Sulphurdale KGRA, Millard and Beaver Counties, Utah

Description: Union Oil Company drilled four geothermal test wells in the Cove Fort-Sulphurdale KGRA between 1975 and 1979. A fairly complete suite of well logs were recorded for the three deeper holes, and these data are presented as composite well log plots in this report. The composite well log plots have facilitated the interpretation of limestone, dolomite, sandstone, quartz-monzonite, serpentine, and volcanic lithologies and the identification of numerous fractures. This has been especially helpful bec… more

Effect of radon transport in groundwater upon gamma-ray borehole logs

Description: Granitic rock at an experimental waste storage site at Stripa, Sweden, is unusually high in natural radioelements (40 ppM uranium) with higher concentrations occurring locally in thin chloritic zones and fractures. Groundwater seeping through fractures into open boreholes is consequently highly anomalous in its radon content, with activity as high as one microcurie per liter. When total count gamma-ray logs are run in boreholes where groundwater inflow is appreciable, the result is quite unusua… more

Borehole survey instrumentation development for geothermal applications

Description: The creation and subsequent study of hot dry rock geothermal reservoirs requires sophisticated tools and instruments that can function for relatively long periods of time in the hostile downhole environment. Detection of fracture dimensions and orientation of the geothermal reservoir is critical for the successful completion of the hot dry rock energy extraction system. The development of downhole instrumentation capable of characterizing the hydraulic-fracture systems must emphasize reliabilit… more

LLNL Underground-Coal-Gasification Project. Quarterly progress report, July-September 1981

Description: We have continued our laboratory studies of forward gasification in small blocks of coal mounted in 55-gal drums. A steam/oxygen mixture is fed into a small hole drilled longitudinally through the center of the block, the coal is ignited near the inlet and burns toward the outlet, and the product gases come off at the outlet. Various diagnostic measurements are made during the course of the burn, and afterward the coal block is split open so that the cavity can be examined. Development work con… more

Preliminary study of uranium favorability of the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups (Eocene) in Texas

Description: Rocks of the Wilcox and Claiborne Groups crop out in the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain and are represented by a series of sands and shales which reflect oscillation of the strandline. The Wilcox Group (lower Eocene), usually undifferentiated in Texas, consists of very fine sands and clays and abundant lignite. The Claiborne Group (middle Eocene) comprises, in ascending order, Carrizo Sand, Reklaw Formation (clay), Queen City Sand, Weches Formation (clay), Sparta Sand, Cook Mountain Formation (clay),… more

Inorganic geochemistry of Devonian shales in southern West Virginia: geographic and stratigraphic trends

Description: Samples of cuttings from twenty-one wells and a core from a single well in southern West Virginia were analyzed for major and minor elements: silicon, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, titanium, phosphorus, manganese, sulfur, zinc, and strontium. Stratigraphic and geographic controls on elemental abundances were studied through canonical correlations, factor analyses, and trend surface analyses. The most abundant elements, silicon and aluminum, show gradual trends through the stratigr… more

Wireline sidewall coring

Description: In April 1989, Schlumberger Well Services, under contract to Fenix and Scisson of Nevada, Inc., ran a wireline sidewall coring machine in exploratory hole Ue4t at the Nevada Test Site for the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The sampling project goals were to recover material for geologic characterization and to determine the effectiveness of the tool for sampling various volcanic lithologies. If a wireline tool is found to be effective, fewer expensive continuously-cored holes will be needed. T… more

Radioactive tracers used to characterize geothermal reservoirs

Description: Data obtained from Br/sup 82/ tracer injections with downhole gamma ray monitoring were used to quantify flow fractions entering and leaving the GT-2B and EE-1 reservoirs at various depths. The Br/sup 82/ tracer method also provided data needed to characterize changes in the reservoir volume and flow distribution within fracture system during the recent 281 day sustained heat extraction experiment at the Hot Dry Rock Fenton Hill Site.
