This report outlines the approach and methodology of the utilization of thermal satellite imagery to find areas of warm ground that might indicate heat flow from a buried geothermal system. The satellite platforms, modeling equations and corrections to the data are discussed. Some...
This layer contains the areas identified as areas of anomalous surface temperature from ASTER satellite imagery. The temperature is calculated using the Emissivity Normalization Algorithm that separate temperature from emissivity. Areas that had temperature greater than 2o, and ar...
This layer contains the areas identified as areas of anomalous surface temperature from Landsat satellite imagery in Western Colorado. Data was obtained for two different dates. The digital numbers of each Landsat scene were converted to radiance and the temperature was calculated...
Subsurface geothermal activity has a thermal expression that can be observed at the surface. Such spatial temperature gradients are within the radiometric resolution that is characteristic of a wide range of satellites that carry thermal sensors. For this effort, CIRES (part of ...
CIRES provided polygon shapefiles showing areas of anomalously warm ground, derived from ASTER and LANDSAT remotely sensed thermal infrared imagery. Partly from these anomalies, and partly through other evidence layers, CIRES came up with 'polygons' representing areas prospective ...
This is a link to the USGS Global Visualization Viewer which can be used to locate and download a variety of remotely sensed data including the ASTER multispectral data that was used in the Utah FORGE project.
This layer contains the areas identified as targets of potential geothermal activity. The Criteria used to identify the target areas include: hot/warm surface exposures modeled from ASTER/Landsat satellite imagery and geological characteristics, alteration mineral commonly associa...
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 data set includes Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, a remote sensing processing report, and a geologic map of the Glass Buttes study area for ORMAT.
The total area flown for the LiDAR remote sensing was 86,631 acres to fully encompass the area of interest (84,849 ac...
This dataset contains several memos describing geothermal targets outlined by Flint personnel in Colorado. Phase 1 involved an ASTER and LANDSAT thermal infrared imagery assessment conducted by CIRES of the University of Colorado, which identified areas of warm ground that might i...
This is a link to the Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) that houses GIS data for the state of Utah. This includes geoscience, cadastre, elevation and terrain, digital aerial photography, roads, aquifer data, etc. Several GIS datasets used in the Utah FORGE project origi...
This submission contains a number of maps and shapefiles related to the Utah FORGE site. Examples include geologic maps (several variations) and GIS data for the Utah FORGE site outline.
All data are georeferenced to UTM, zone 12N, NAD 83, NAVD 88.
Structural controls of 426 geothermal systems in the Great Basin region including western Nevada, central Nevada, northwestern Nevada, northeastern Nevada, east-central Nevada, eastern California, southern Oregon, and western Utah were analyzed with literature research, air photos...
This is the regional dataset compilation for the INnovative Geothermal Exploration through Novel Investigations Of Undiscovered Systems (INGENIOUS) project. The primary goal of this project is to accelerate discoveries of new, commercially viable hidden geothermal systems while re...
This is a presentaiton from Metarock Laboratories on the thermal properties of Utah FORGE well 58-32 granite core. The presentation includes pictures of core samples, core details for the samples (sample depths and size), sample thermal expansion test results, and radial velocity ...
This report presents a preliminary assessment of the technical feasibility of utilizing underground thermal energy storage (UTES) and electric-driven heat pumps (EDHPs) to enable flexible behind-the-meter electric demand of buildings while meeting their thermal demands in an energ...

( 2 ) Final Simulation Inputs
( 3 ) Native-State Thermal-Hydrological Model Input File Fol...
This is a report from Metarock Laboratories on the thermal properties of Utah FORGE wells 16A(78)-32 & 58-32 granite. The report includes pictures of core samples, core details for the samples (where the sample was taken and the size of the sample), sample thermal expansion test r...
The Closed-Loop Geothermal Working Group and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have studied the performance of disc-shaped and linear thermal enhancements (conductive material introduced around a wellbore) in closed-loop geothermal systems. COMSOL models were develop...
Thermal property data for rocks and and minerals and unconsolidated (glacial) sediments units from within and outside the Illinois Basin were compiled for modeling heat transport in the subsurface.
This dataset encompasses the development of a geothermal energy system for the West Woodlawn neighborhood in Chicago, Illinois. This project is part of a broader initiative to design and deploy geothermal heating and cooling systems at a community scale. The dataset includes therm...
This is the modeling data (input/output files of TOUGHREACT 4.10) used to simulate the reactive transport processes of the Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) operations at Stockton University, NJ. Readme.txt lists all the files. TOUGHREACT 4.10 requires to reproduce the modelin...
This report summarizes a formation thermal conductivity test performed July 29-31, 2025 on a579-ft vertical bore at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan. It describes the test setup, operating conditions, data acquisition procedures, calibration details, and bo...
