GAS CHEMISTRY AND THERMOMETRY OF THE CERRO PRIETO, MEXICO, GEOTHERMAL FIELD.

January 1, 1982

Gas compositions in 1977 reflected strong boiling in the reservoir around wells M-20 and M-25. This zone appeared to be collapsing in 1982 when a number of wells in this area were shut-in. Four gas geothermometers were applied. The Fisher - Tropsch reaction predicted high temperatures and appeared to re-equilibrate rapidly. Hydrogen and NH//3 reactions were intermediate.
