Infrared spectroscopy (IRS) is a method used to identify minerals based on their spectral
response to infrared light. Spot-based IRS (also known as 'reflectance spectroscopy') has …

Diamond drilling typically constitutes a major part of costs in advanced mineral exploration
programs. This generates thousands of meters of rock cores during major exploration …

Altered rock, as the abutment materials of Xiaowan Hydropower Station in China, is a kind of
geological defective rock mass. It is loosely structured and its strength is low, with some …

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 …

Petrophysical and mechanical rock properties are key parameters for the characterization of
the deep subsurface in different disciplines such as geothermal heat extraction, petroleum …

In this study, we used the multi-resolution graph-based clustering (MRGC) method for
determining the electrofacies (EF) and lithofacies (LF) from well log data obtained from the …

The Acoculco caldera has been recognized by the Mexican Federal Electricity Company
(CFE) as a Hot Dry Rock Geothermal System (HDR) and could be a potential candidate for …

Supergene argillitization on basement blocks shows a great variety of deposits with regard
to their mineralogical composition and morphology, particularly those which developed …

The active volcanic caldera of Acoculco has been explored in the last few years to develop
geothermal energy from non-conventional sources. This caldera located in eastern Mexico …

The Acoculco geothermal system is hosted by a caldera complex located at the eastern
portion of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. Surface manifestations are scarce and consist of …
