Characterizing favourable structural settings of geothermal reservoirs in extensional regions: Enhanced exploration strategies
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...

Structural and Tectonic Controls of Geothermal Activity in the Basin and Range Province
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...

Developing Successful Exploration Strategies in Extended Terranes
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...

Structural Controls of the Tuscarora Geothermal Field, Elko County, Nevada MS Thesis
Detailed geologic mapping, structural analysis, and well data have been integrated to elucidate the stratigraphic framework and structural setting of the Tuscarora geothermal area. Tuscarora is an amagmatic geothermal system that lies in the northern part of the Basin and Range pr...

Structural Inventory of Great Basin Geothermal Systems and Definition of Favorable Structural Settings
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...

Gravity Survey of the Carson Sink Data and Maps
A detailed gravity survey was carried out for the entire Carson Sink in western Nevada (Figure 1) through a subcontract to Zonge Engineering, Inc. The Carson Sink is a large composite basin containing three known, blind high-temperature geothermal systems (Fallon Airbase, Stillwat...

Regional Slip Tendency Analysis of the Great Basin Region
Slip and dilation tendency on the Great Basin fault surfaces (from the USGS Quaternary Fault Database) were calculated using 3DStress (software produced by Southwest Research Institute).
Slip and dilation tendency are both unitless ratios of the resolved stresses applied to the f...

Slip and Dilation Tendency Analysis of the Salt Wells Geothermal Area
Critically stressed fault segments have a relatively high likelihood of acting as fluid flow conduits (Sibson, 1994). As such, the tendency of a fault segment to slip (slip tendency; Ts; Morris et al., 1996) or to dilate (dilation tendency; Td; Ferrill et al., 1999) provides an in...
