Hawaii Play Fairway: Preliminary Core Box Photos, Lanai Island, Hawaii
Photos of core samples from Lanai Island. During the third phase of the Hawaii Play Fairway project, further exploration involved drilling a groundwater well in Lanai's Palawai Basin and performing more geophysical surveys. The project deepened an existing water well on Lanai. Drilling occurred 24/7 the entire month of June 2019 over which time Lanai Well 10 was deepened from 427 m to 1057 m, with continuous core collected. The roughly linear temperature gradient was an average of 42 degC/km, and a maximum bottom hole temperature, 66 degC. This gradient is more than twice the background for Hawaii and within a range of gradients measured in this depth range for some exploration wells within KERZ. The Hawaii Play Fairway project seeks to explore the geologic structures that exist in the caldera region of Hawaiian volcanoes; how those structures influence groundwater storage and flow; and how the magmatic heat from Hawaiian shield volcanoes cools over time. The Hawaii Groundwater and Geothermal Resources Center (Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawaii at Manoa) executed the Hawaii Play Fairway project.
