Characteristics of Geothermal Wells Located in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field, Imperial County, California

Palmer, T.D.

We have summarized the geophysical, geochemical, and geothermal characteristics of wells located in the Salton Sea Geothermal Field. Based on the geothermal characteristics of the wells, we have developed a subsurface heat profile for the entire geothermal field. We have also drawn maps of temperature contours for specified depths throughout the field
