Injection-Triggered Occlusion of Flow Pathways in Geothermal Operations

Figure 5

(a) Correlation of chemical elements in the geothermal fluid (−1: highest reverse correlation, 0: no correlation, and 1: highest correlation); (b) strength of correlation shown by subgrouping of chemical elements using cluster analysis based on cross-correlation-derived Euclidian distances. EC: electrical conductivity.
