Book Description
Thermal waters produced from large oil fields are currently the most important geothermal resources in Los Angeles County. Otherwise, the County does not appear to have any large, near-surface geothermal resources. The oil fields produce thermal water because of both the moderate depths of production and normal to above-normal geothermal gradients. Gradients are about 3.0-3.5°C/100 meters in the Ventura Basin and range from that up to about 5.5-6.0°C/100 meters in the Los Angeles Basin. The hottest fields in the County are west of the Newport-Inglewood Structural Zone. The Los Angeles Basin has substantially more potential for uses of heat from oil fields than does the Ventura Basin because of its large fields and dense urban development. Produced fluid temperatures there range from ambient air to boiling, but most are in the 100-150°F range. Daily water production ranges from only a few barrels at some fields to over a million barrels at Wilmington Oil Field; nearly all fields produce less than 50,000 barrels/day. Water salinity generally ranges from about 15,000-35,000 mg/liter NaCl. Fields with the most promise as sources of heat for outside applications are Wilmington, Torrance, Venice Beach, and Lawndale. The centralized treatment facilities are the most favorable sites for extraction of heat within the oil fields. Because of the poor water quality heat exchangers will likely be required rather than direct circulation of the field water to users. The best sites for applications are commercial-industrial areas and possibly institutional structures occupied by large numbers of people.

Book Description
As part of an appraisal of the nature and economic potential of the geothermal resource in the vicinity of Susanville and Honey Lake, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has been collecting geologic and hydrologic data, making resistivity surveys, obtaining thermal-infrared imagery, consulting with the U.S. Geological Survey, and drilling shallow temperature-gradient holes. This report, prepared by the Geological Survey in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, presents the results of a brief reconnaissance study of the geothermal resource in the Susanville-Honey Lake area using the available geologic and hydrologic data.
