Database for wells and utilization of low temperature geothermal sources

Abstract

SQL "Structured Query Language", a relational database language, was used to design suitable database tables for the management of all data about geothermal wells in Egypt. These database tables and their corresponding queries, views, and indexes contain information about drilling data, casing design, chemical analysis of water, locations of wells, types of different logs done in each well and detailed lists of measurements. Data from 43 wells located in the Mosfellssveit low temperature field (15 km east of Reykjavik) were organized using the SQL tables. Discussed are some possible direct applications of using low temperature waters in Egypt. These applications include the piping of geothermal fluids, use of heat pumps and fundamentals of space heating design.
