Final Report describing regional signature detection for blind and traditional play fairways as part of Phase I of New Mexico Play Fairway Analysis. This project seeks to reduce exploration risk and identify new prospective targets using available geologic, geochemical, and geophy...
In 2010 and 2011, Flint Geothermal commissioned CIRES from the University of Colorado to attempt to detect "blind" or buried geothermal systems using remote sensing. CIRES utilized thermal infrared bands from ASTER and LANDSAT satellite imagery to detect areas of warm ground in pa...
This project focused on defining geothermal play fairways and development of a detailed geothermal potential map of a large transect across the Great Basin region (96,000 km2), with the primary objective of facilitating discovery of commercial-grade, blind geothermal fields (i.e. ...
This submission includes the final project report of the Snake River Plain Play Fairway Analysis project as well as a separate appendix for the final report. The final report outlines the application of Play Fairway Analysis (PFA) to geothermal exploration, specifically within the...
This data is associated with the Nevada Play Fairway project and contains 2D seismic profile data in cropped jpegs and tiffs, both interpreted and uninterpreted. Seismic data owned or controlled by Seismic Exchange, Inc.; interpretation is that of the University of Nevada, Reno.
This is a final technical report for the project: Foam Fracturing Study for Stimulation Development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of foam fracturing in EGS applications. The project, led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), wa...
This study is an extension of the Hawaii Play Fairway Analysis (PFA), a statewide geothermal exploration project funded by the United States Department of Energy. Based on results from prior phases of the PFA, this project targeted 66 wells on the islands of Hawaii, Maui, Lanai, O...
Map, image, and data files, and a summary report of a high-resolution aeromagnetic survey of southern Maui, Hawai'i completed by EDCON-PRJ, Inc. for Ormat Nevada Inc using an helicopter and a towed sensor array.
An investment of $0.7M from the Geothermal Technology Office for Phase 2 of Play Fairway Analysis in Washington State improved existing favorability models and increased model confidence. New 1:24,000-scale geological mapping, 15 detailed geophysical surveys, 2 passive seismic sur...
This presents the results of Phase 1 of the Snake River Plain Play Fairway Analysis project, along with a proposed work for Phase 2. No new data were collected, but we list data sources for our compilation.
The Snake River volcanic province (SRP) overlies a thermal anomaly that e...
Abstract: Davenport Newberry (Davenport) has completed 8 years of exploration for geothermal energy on Newberry Volcano in central Oregon. Two deep exploration test wells were drilled by Davenport on the west flank of the volcano, one intersected a hydrothermal system; the other ...
This data package includes exploration material from the Basin & Range Investigation for Developing Geothermal Energy [in Hidden Systems] project (BRIDGE), which is part of a broader initiative to advance the exploration of hidden geothermal resources in the Basin & Range Province...
The goal of this project was to create a template (and associated form) on OpenEI to solicit crowd-sourced information sharing about various geothermal resource areas around the world. Over the past two years, twelve case studies have been researched by NREL staff testing the usa...
Groundwater geochemistry data collected for the phase 2 of the Hawaii Play Fairway Analyses. These data are included in a Lautze et al. paper to Geothermics (in review).
This report presents the results of Phase 2 of the Snake River Plain Play Fairway Analysis project, and a summary of proposed work for Phase 3. Phase 2 focused on new data collection in specific areas of interest identified in Phase 1. These data include new magnetotelluric, seism...
The Geothermal Exploration Artificial Intelligence looks to use machine learning to spot geothermal identifiers from land maps. This is done to remotely detect geothermal sites for the purpose of energy uses. Such uses include enhanced geothermal system (EGS) applications, especia...
Compilation of data (spreadsheet and shapefiles) for several low-temperature resource types, including isolated springs and wells, delineated area convection systems, sedimentary basins and coastal plains sedimentary systems. For each system, we include estimates of the accessible...
Exploration of geothermal systems is commonly hampered by the risk of unsuccessful drilling. A major problem in selecting well sites is that the favorable settings of known systems are generally not adequately characterized. This is particularly important in amagmatic regions, wh...
We are conducting an inventory of structural settings of geothermal systems (>400 total) in the extensional to transtensional Great Basin region of the western USA. A system of NW-striking dextral faults known as the Walker Lane accommodates ~20% of the North American-Pacific plat...
Final research performance report for an electronics platform and temperature sensor system for enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) capable of 300 degrees Celcius.
Low permeability geothermal reservoirs can be stimulated by hydraulic fracturing to create Enhanced (or Engineered) Geothermal Systems (EGS) with higher permeability and improved heat transfer to increase heat production. In this paper, we document our effort to develop a numerica...
This contains a final technical report and closeout presentation recording summarizing the results from Utah FORGE Project 5-2557 on the role of fluid pressure and temperature in fracture mechanics and coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes relevant to enhanced ...
We conducted a comprehensive analysis of the structural controls of geothermal systems within the Great Basin and adjacent regions. Our main objectives were to:
1) Produce a catalogue of favorable structural environments and models for geothermal systems.
2) Improve site-specifi...
This project is a component of a broader effort focused on geothermal heating and cooling (GHC) with the aim of illustrating the numerous benefits of incorporating GHC and geothermal heat exchange (GHX) into community energy planning and national decarbonization strategies. To bet...
Compilation of data (spreadsheet and shapefiles) for several low-temperature resource types, including isolated springs and wells, delineated area convection systems, sedimentary basins and coastal plains sedimentary systems. For each system, we include estimates of the accessibl...
