[Geysers] Information wanted.

[GOSA Store]

I wasn't able to open PP-1054-B on my PC at work when I wrote this earlier
today.  At home the software install and file opening went flawlessly.  I
guess our puter admins don't like us to do downloads.  )c:)

 

The report states that Y-6 drill hole temps were ~180 deg. C. at 150 meters
depth.  Y-6 is located ~1/2 km west of Lone Star.

 

I'd like to see data from drill holes closer to Old Faithful such as Y-1,
Y-7 and Y-8 done by USGS in the late 1960's and C-1 drilled by the Carnegie
Institute in 1929.  My guess is that John Rinehart used data from those
efforts rather than probing Old Faithful itself.  If Eric Rinehart is on
this list, please clarify if you can.

USGS has drill hole temp data in their PP-1456 report for Norris GB.  To
view it click on this link  <http://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/1456/>
http://pubs.usgs.gov/pp/1456/ then download the file (12MB).  The
temperature at depth chart is on page 8.  Of course Norris is much hotter
than other basins but it's interesting nevertheless.

 

I wasn't able to view PP-1054-B, the report on drill hole Y-6 but you might
give it a try.  This report is online and may contain the data sought.
You'll have to download djvu free software prior to opening the file:

The list of other USGS reports, not all of which are downloadable, is at
<http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/publications/articles.php>
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/publications/articles.php .  My search
revealed no other viewable reports on the Upper Basin's research drill
holes.  If anyone has them and can provide us with contents related to this
question please do so.  Enquiring minds want to know . . . . 

Thanks, 
Happy Holidays!

I shall try and be charitable.  Let us just say that much of the data in his
book of a similar vein to measuring temps 175m down is. not exactly
verifiable by any other person.  Ever.

 

I don't think many scientists cite these sorts of data in their own papers.

Hello all, 

I ran across a book, Geysers and Geothermal Energy by John S. Rinehart with
some interesting info in it.  One was a graph of the temperature changes
over time in Old Faithful at the 175  m (about 575 foot) depth.  Now, I
didn't know that a temperature probe was ever placed in Old Faithful to that
depth.  The Bibliography for the book lists many references for the chapter
in question but does not tell me which of the references this data came out
of.  So my question is, does anyone know more about this temperature at
depth data and who gathered it?   I am just lazy and don't want to look up
all the Yellowstone related references for this chapter.  

Thank you,

Stephen Eide
