The Geysers studies
The list of our studies of the Geysers Geothermal Field: https://www.induced.pl/projects/geysers has been published on a dedicated page. Our contributions can be also downloaded there!
Update 3.8.1 to foci software package
New version (3.8.1) of foci software package has been released recent week. This version brings some new features that will be developed in next months:
– Introduction of inelastic attenuation correction in calculation of full seismic moment tensor.
– Multiple corrections to preferences window.
– Introduction of foci package into github version control system
– Code cleanup.
The polish version of foci website has been also rearranged and refurbished. This is the first step to translate this page into english.
Building up page on The Geysers studies
The Geysers represents a unique site for analysis of induced seismicity. This vapor-dominated geothermal field is located about 120 km north of San Francisco where the geothermal power production is performed for more than 50 years. Currently, The Geysers is the world’s largest geothermal field operated by Calpine and spanning an area of around 78km2 with the nominal capacity of 1517 MW. It is also an area of intensive induced seismic activity, with the largest event reaching magnitude 5.0. The seismicity is recorded with an extensive seismic monitoring networks operated by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and broadband regional network.
The availaibility of high quality data triggered our interest in understanding seismo-mechanical processes in this reservoir. This resulted in a number of publications, that I decided to gather in one place – The Geysers resesarch page.
Upgrade of induced.pl website to handle PHP7
Since today, the website is running using PHP7.0 engine, meaning increased performance of page loading. That imposed a slight redesign of my website – mostly related to removal of incompatible plugins.
