Geochemical modelling of petroleum well data from the Perth Basin. Implications for potential scaling during low enthalpy geothermal exploration from a hot sedimentary aquifer

This study promotes the application of readily accessible protocols and a scaling model to deep well samples that may otherwise appear to have little geochemical value because of the way the samples were collected and handled. After data culling and treatment, insights into the geochemistry and scaling potential of deep clastic formations of the North Perth Basin that may hold the potential for geothermal exploitation as hot sedimentary aquifers can be gained.
