MSc in Sustainable Energy candidate, Lily Suherlina, successfully defended her master's thesis where she investigated the dynamic evolution of the Lahendong geothermal system in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Lily's study discussed integrated approaches to characterising dynamical evolution of the exploited high-enthalpy geothermal system of Lahendong, North-Sulawesi, Indonesia. As she explains, Lahendong has two primary reservoirs, the southern and the northern. Lily's main focus was characterisation of detailed fluid dynamics in the system with respect to geological structures and permeability distribution. Her approach combine integrated analysis of well data and detailed hydrochemical analysis to understand how the geothermal system evolves and the distribution of changes due to structural influence and prolonged exploitation of the reservoirs.
