Project Data for Evaluation Of Physics-Based Drilling and Alternative Bit Design At The Geysers
This dataset contains project data generated by the project "Evaluation Of Physics-Based Drilling and Alternative Bit Design At The Geysers." It includes drilling, downhole drilling dynamics, bit records, daily drilling reports, directional surveys, lithology and mineralogy data, mud logs, Pason EDR data at 1-second intervals, well schematics, processed well logs, and the final technical report for wells GDC-36 and Prati-44 at the Geysers geothermal field in California. The data include measurements recorded by depth and time, with some lithology data stored at 1-foot depth intervals and some drilling data stored at 1-second time intervals.
*Please note that past the date 3/31/2031, which is 5 years after the date of production, this data is publicly available as stated in the protected rights notice.
