Gisborne was shrouded in fog this morning and at times visibility was down to around 50 metres in places. “Yesterday Gisborne was under the influence of a light onshore flow, which increased the amount of moisture in the air and you may have noticed the cloud cover,” said MetService forecaster Lewis Ferris. “As we moved into the evening period the onshore flow died away and the cloud broke up. This meant the surface could cool down quickly after sundown. The cooling surface caused the air near the ground to saturate, hence the formation of fog. “ Gisborne Airport first started to pick up fog traces around 8pm last night and it was still present at 8am this morning. “It could be a repeat situation this evening.” Herald photographer Liam Clayton was out and about to snap this shot. He ventured up Titirangi but was completely engulfed in fog.

Box 30-125, St Martins, Christchurch, New Zealand e-mail: 1 [email protected]; ABSTRACT Brine at the Kawerau Geothermal Limited (KGL) plant was injected into three injection wells (KA43, KA44 and PK4A). Since plant commissioning, the capacity of the wells declined to the point where well intervention was necessary to avoid loss of generation. Investigative work was initiated with multi-rate injection tests which found that the injection index of the wells had declined significantly to approximately half of pre-utilisation levels. Further geochemistry analysis identified that the most likely source of injectivity decline was scaling due to colloidal silica forming in the formation. KA44 and PK4A were acidised using a standard 10% hydrochloric acid pre-flush followed by a 10%:5% HF:HCL mud acid solution. A 2” coil tubing unit with a 5 hole 45º nozzle bottom hole assembly was used giving a maximum pump rate of 3.5 - 4.0 barrels per minute. Feedzones were acidised one at a time starting with the deeper zones. Post well injection tests identified that the acidising Figure 1: Location of the Kawerau Geothermal Field had recovered the injectivity of the deeper feedzones but the shallower feedzones remain blocked with Silica precipitation at Kawerau has been a concern scale.
