Book excerpt: The Salton Sea Scientific g Project (SSSDP) completed the first major well in the United States Continental Scientific Drilling Program. The well (State 2-14) was drilled to 10,W ft (3,220 m) in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field in California's Imperial Valley, to permit scientific study of a deep, high-temperature portion of an active geothermal system. The program was designed to investigate, through drilling and testing, the subsurface thermal, chemical, and mineralogical environments of this geothermal area. Extensive samples and data, including cores, cuttings, geothermal fluids and gases, and geophysical logs, were collected for future scientific analysis, interpretation, and publication. Short duration flow tests were conducted on reservoirs at a depth of approximately 6,120 ft (1,865 m) and at 10,136 ft (3,089 m). This report summarizes all major activities of the SSSDP, from project inception in the fall of 1984 through brine-pond cleanup and site restoration, ending in February 1989. This report presents a balanced summary of drilling, coring, logging, and flow-test operations, and a brief summary of technical and scientific results. Frequent reference is made to original records, data, and publication of results. The report also reviews the proposed versus the final well design, and operational summaries, such as the bit record, the casing and cementing program, and the coring program. Summaries are and the results of three flow tests. Several teamed during the project.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Deep Salton Sea Scientific Drilling Program (DSSSDP) was conducted in Imperial County of California at the Southeastern edge of the Salton Sea. Emphasis was on the acquisition of scientific data for the evaluation of the geological environment encountered during the drilling of the well. The scientific data acquisition activities consisted of coring, running of numerous downhole logs and tools in support of defining the geologic environment and conducting two full scale flow tests primarily to obtain pristine fluid samples. In addition, drill cuttings, gases and drilling fluid chemistry measurements were obtained from the drilling fluid returns concurrent with drilling and coring operations. The well was drilled to 10,564 feet. This report describes the field portions of the project and presents an analysis of the time spent on the various activities associated with the normal drilling operations, scientific data gathering operations and the three major downhole problem activities - lost circulation, directional control and fishing.

Book excerpt: The Salton Sea Geothermal System lies in the old Colorado River Delta, where sediments have been metamorphosed by hydrothermal processes. Fluids, from well Fee No. 5 and deep hole SSSDP California State 2-14, as well as rocks from the deep hole were studied for 1°Be and 9Be. In the solid samples 1°Be concentration ranges from 29 to 259 x 106 atom/g and 9Be from 0.49 to 2.52 ppM. The 1°Be concentration in the geothermal waters ranges from 2 x 103 to 2.9 /times/ 106 atom/g and 9Be from 0.7 to 16.6 ppB. Compared to the steady-state inventory which represents the quantity of 1°Be expected from rain deposition alone ((approximately)1 /times/ 1012 atom/cm2), the 1°Be inventory in the deep core is 3 orders of magnitude higher (>1 /times/ 1015 atom/cm2). This indicates that most 1°Be is inherited and that the sediments hosting the geothermal field down to 3250m are young, less than few million year old. 1°Be and 9Be Kds decrease from surface to bottom (3333 to 48 and 727 to 393, respectively) expressing the strong leaching effect of the solid material by the geothermal waters. This process is more active at depth where pH is

This book was released on 1987 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In situ fluid sampling activities were conducted at the Salton Sea Scientific Drilling Project (SSSDP) well during late December 1985 and late March 1986 to obtain unflashed samples of Salton Sea brine. In late December, three sampling runs were made to depths of approximately 1800 m and temperatures of 300°C. In late March, 10 sampling runs were made to depths of approximately 3150 m and temperatures of 350°C. In brief, the Los Alamos tool obtained samples from four of eight runs; the Lawrence Berkeley tool obtained samples from one of one run; the Leutert Instruments, Inc., tool obtained samples from zero of three runs; and the USGS quartz crystal experiment was lost in the well. The most complete sample was obtained from run No. 11, using the Los Alamos sampler and Sandia battery pack/controller on a wireline. About 1635 ml of brine, two noble gas samples, and two bulk gas samples were collected from this run. Samples of brine and gas from productive runs have been distributed to about 15 researchers for various types of analyses. Chemical analyses by the Los Alamos and US Geological Survey analytical teams are presented in this report, although they are not corrected for flashing and precipitation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandia developed high temperature logging instruments for use in the Salton Sea Scientific Drilling Project. These tools - Kuster mechanical tools for measuring temperature, pressure, and flow; a temperature and pressure tool built around an electronic memory; and a timing and control unit to power a downhole sampler - were all designed for slickline operation to temperatures up to 400°C. The drilling of the scientific well and the application of these tools in it were successful. The technology advances made in the development of these tools have been transferred to industry. These advances should prove valuable in future scientific and commercial applications.

Book excerpt: The purpose and goals of the Scientific Deep Drilling Program have been outlined in previous documents. The purpose of this report is to provide supporting documentation for the engineering recommendations and detailed specifications associated with the drilling program. The drilling plan developed for Bechtel and described in the report has been revised several times due to changes in the project scope and project guidelines. Some of these changes were made due to the unforeseen cost implications associated with certain drilling operations and specifications. Some of the revisions were in response to DOE requests to Bechtel. The revisions have required the rewriting of some of the draft input for resubmission to Bechtel. [DJE-2005].
