Play Fairway Analysis of the Snake River Plain, Idaho: Final Report

Publicly accessible License 

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 Snake River Plain volcanic province. The goals of the report are to use PFA to lower risk and cost of geothermal exploration and stimulate development of geothermal power resources in Idaho. Further use of this report could include the application of PFA for geothermal exploration throughout the geothermal industry. The report utilizes ArcGIS and Python for data analysis which used to developed a systematic workflow to automate data analysis. The appendix for the report includes ArcGIS maps and data compilation information regarding the report.
