• From outcrop scanlines to discrete fracture networks, an integrative workflow 

      Lepillier, Baptiste; Bruna, Pierre-Olivier; Bruhn, David; Bastesen, Eivind; Daniilidis, Alexandros; Garcia, Óscar; Torabi, Anita; Wheeler, Walter H (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Understanding fractures and fracture networks is essential for the investigation and use of subsurface reservoirs. The aim is to predict the fractures and the fracture network when there is no direct access to subsurface ...
    • Integrated Stress Field Estimation and Implications for Enhanced Geothermal System Development in Acoculco, Mexico 

      Kruszewski, Michal; Hofmann, Hannes; Alvarez, Fidel Gomez; Bianco, Caterina; Haro, Adrian Jimenez; Garduño, Victor Hugo; Liotta, Domenico; Trumpy, Eugenio; Brogi, Andrea; Wheeler, Walter H; Bastesen, Eivind; Parisio, Francesco; Saenger, Erik H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Data gathered from two geothermal exploration wells in the Acoculco caldera, within the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, indicated that temperature is high enough for economic utilization, but permeability is insufficient. ...
    • Tectonic-magmatic-hydrothermal interactions in a hot dry rock geothermal system: The role of the transfer and normal faults in the Acoculco caldera (Mexico) 

      Liotta, Domenico; Brogi, Andrea; Wheeler, Walter H; Bastesen, Eivind; Garduño-Monroy, Victor Hugo; Macias, José Luis; Sosa-Ceballos, Giovanni; Pola, Antonio; Avellán, Denis-Ramón; Bianco, Caterina; Olvera-García, Emmanuel; Gómez-Alvarez, Fidel; Israde-Alcantara, Isabel; Jiménez-Haro, Adrian; Piccardi, Luigi; Zucchi, Martina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      In the Acoculco caldera (hot dry rock system) two geothermal boreholes were planned to intersect fracture systems in the carbonate basement. Even though the caldera is located in an area of active deformation with high ...
