In many hydrothermal systems, fracture permeability along faults provides pathways for groundwater to transport heat from depth. Faulting generates a range of deformation styles that cross-cut heterogeneous geology, resulting in complex patterns of permeability, porosity, and hydr...

This submission comprises two downloadable .zip archives. Each archive contains spreadsheets with 3-D data and a .txt document describing the data. The Mesh Files .zip download contains data regarding the lithologic contacts of the granitoid and overlying sedimentary basin fill. T...

This dataset contains grid files for subsurface maps created in GES interpretation software and exported as Zmap formated grid files. Depth values in SSTVD (subsea true vertical depth). The methods used for analysis and a detailed discussion of the results are presented in a paper...

This dataset contains a map, showing the Utah FORGE seismic stations, and seismic velocity model data. There are 61 1-D velocity models which are in a compressed TAR file. A paper is referenced at the end of this description which discusses the use of these data in 3D modelling. T...

The Mountain Home area is characterized by high heat flow and temperature gradient. Temperature data are available from 18 boreholes with depths equal to or greater than 200 m, 5 of which have depths ranging from ~1340 m to ~3390 m (MH-1, MH-2, Bostic1, Lawrence D No.1, and Anschu...

The submission includes FALCON input file and mesh for the an initial pressure-temperature simulation, and a second set for pressure-temperature-displacement simulation. All simulations are steady state. Data and input for the FORGE Phase 2 native state model were compiled from hi...

Three shapefiles in this submission show the position of proposed seismic line surveys. The mid-crustal velocity anomaly file shows the extent of an anomalously low P-wave velocity zone in the subsurface. Two other files show the extent of known hydrothermal systems in the Rooseve...

Geothermal power plants typically show decreasing heat and power production rates over time. Mitigation strategies include optimizing the management of existing wells increasing or decreasing the fluid flow rates across the wells and drilling new wells at appropriate locations. Th...

Directional Cooling-Induced Fracturing (DCIF) experiments were conducted on rectangular Westerly granite blocks (width=depth=4.0", height=2.0"). Liquid nitrogen was poured in a small, 1"-diameter copper cup attached to the top of the sample, and the resulting acoustic emissions (A...

This data submission includes several data components that were used to develop a conceptual model and power capacity-estimates of two low-temperature geothermal resources that define geothermal prospect A at Hawthorne, Nevada. Data are sourced from a combination of legacy publicl...

This submission includes 3-D geocellular model files with formation top and formation thickness data for the St. Peter and Mt. Simon Sandstones in University of Illinois Deep Direct-Use project area. An input parameters file is also included for the St. Peter Sandstone.

Validation of Innovative Exploration Technologies for Newberry Volcano: Report of 4-D seismic Analysis by Apex HiPoint (Sigma3) 2012

The objective of this project is to use a multi-disciplinary, three-tiered approach to assess the geothermal resource and determine the feasibility of implementing a large-scale, direct-use facility for the Hawthorne Army Depot (HAD) and the various town and county facilities in H...

Newberry Volcano, a voluminous (500 km3) basaltic/andesitic/rhyolitic shield volcano located near the intersection of the Cascade volcanic arc, the Oregon High Lava Plains and Brothers Fault Zone, and the northern Basin and Range Province, has been the site of geothermal explorati...

This is a .zip file containing two reports and a slide presentation, in .pdf formats, regarding the University of Texas at Austin's Utah FORGE R&D project on fracture modelling and propagation in naturally fractured granitoid rock. The title of this R&D project is: Design and Impl...

The link points to a website at NCEDC to download the full moment tensors inversion software The moment tensor analysis conducted in the current project is based on the full moment tensor model described in Minson and Dreger (2008). The software including source, examples and tut...

The following resources host grid service pricing (e.g. ancillary services) beyond wholesale electric pricing. The NREL Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) provides a consistent set of technology cost and performance data for energy analysis.

This submission contains tarred pair directories for interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data covering Coso Geothermal Field in California, USA. Explanation of pair subdirectories: Pairs are formed using the InSAR processing software GMT5SAR (Sandwell et al., 2011). ...

These studies undertook detailed analyses of the Mt. Simon Sandstone in the Illinois Basin for geological storage and sequestration, and brine extraction.

This data characterizes binding of Zn2+ and Gd3+ to engineered nanosheets at 40C and in a brine solution. The engineered nanosheets are composed of surface-layer (S-layer) proteins which form 2 D crystalline sheets and display Zn2+ or Gd3+-binding domains on these sheets. Their ab...

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) was tasked with developing a metric in 2012 to measure the impacts of RD&D funding on the cost and time required for geothermal exploration activities. The development of this cost and time metric included collecting cost and time da...

EGS field projects have not sustained production at rates greater than half of what is needed for economic viability. The primary limitation that makes commercial EGS infeasible is our current inability to cost-effectively create high-permeability reservoirs from impermeable, igne...
