Microseismicity survey of the El Hoyo-Monte Galan geothermal region in Nicaragua

摘要

The project's objective is to use conceptual and mathematical models of211u001egeothermal fields as a basis for interpreting multiple datasets of geophysical 211u001edata and for improving geothermal exploration techniques. The objective of this 211u001eeffort is to collect and interpret microseismicity data. The technical objectives 211u001eare: plan and carry out a joint seismic deployment in Nicaragua, recording 211u001emicroseismicity activity at magnitude 1.5 or less; analyze microseismicity data 211u001eto define possible fracture zones/geothermal conduits; determine the velocity and 211u001epossibly the attenuation structure in the El Hoyo-Monte Calan area; and work with 211u001ethe staff of the Trans-Pacific Geothermal Company to evaluate existing geological 211u001eand geophysical data.
