Buchanan 1" April, 1990 i MINES LIBRARY Tti GS Li a (ths The thesis of Paul K. Buchanan is approved by University of Nevada Reno April, 1990 11 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS This study was made possible by grant DE-FG07-88ID12784 from the United States Department of Energy, Geothermal Technology Division, administered by the Idaho Operations Office, Idaho Falls, Idaho. Additional financial assistance from the Nevada Section of the Geothermal Resources Council aided in the completion of this thesis. My thanks go to the Nevada geothermal power industry for allowing fluid sampling of deep powerplant production wells. Specifically, Chevron Resources, Oxbow Geothermal, Ormat Energy Systems, Geothermal Food Processors, Tad's Enterprises, Thermochem Inc., Elko Heat Co. and Elko School District are thanked. Thanks also to Dr. Robert Fournier of the United States Geological Survey for providing data on the Coso geothermal system. Michelle Stickles is to be commended for suffering through the proof reading of the initial drafts of this report. Thanks to my advisor, Jim Carr, and my committee members, Mel Hibbard and Gary Haynes, for taking on this project and putting up with my inconsistent scheduling and "last minute" rush. Special thanks to my cohorts at the Division of Earth Sciences and Mackay School of Mines for their cynical attitudes that helped keep it all in perspec- tive, through both the good and the bad times.
