Abstract: |
Borehole geology data in the form of cuttings, cores, and formation logs are observed during drilling, as well as advanced analysis and data integration afterward. The aforementioned data collected after drilling is used to update information about subsurface geology, including lithology characterization, geological structure interpretation, and hydrothermal alteration identification. By utilizing this information, we can attain a comprehensive understanding of the geothermal system. This knowledge leads to well-informed decisions in geothermal projects, such as well targeting strategy. To support this work, a fit-for-purpose database is needed to ensure the data is properly curated, accessible, and useful for further geological interpretation. In this study, we will elaborate on the applications of JIWA DBase for updating and analyzing borehole geology data to support geologists in geothermal drilling. |
