Numerical simulations have shown that the use of supercritical CO2 instead of water as a heat transfer fluid yields significantly greater heat extraction rates for geothermal energy. If this technology is implemented successfully, it could increase geothermal energy production and...

Glass Buttes Exploration and Drilling: 2010 Geothermal Technologies Program Peer Review Presentation, Walsh, et al, Ormat

2011 Geothermal Technologies Program Peer Review Presentation summarizing relevance, proposed approach, and logistics of the Glass Buttes Exploration and Drilling.

The Glass Buttes Project includes combining a suite of high-resolution geophysical and geochemical techniques to reduce exploration risk by characterizing hydrothermal alteration, fault geometries and relationships. This is aided through geologic observation, modern remote sensing...

This is a hydrothermal alteration map of the Tularosa Basin area, New Mexico and Texas that was created using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) multispectral data band ratios based upon diagnostic features of clay, calcite, silica, gypsum, ferr...

This is a compilation of logs and data from Well 52-21 in the Roosevelt Hot Springs area in Utah. This well is also in the Utah FORGE study area. The file is in a compressed .zip format and there is a data inventory table (Excel spreadsheet) in the root folder that is a guide to t...

We have calculated a chlorite dissolution rate equation at far from equilibrium conditions by combining new data (20 experiments at high temperature) with previously published data Smith et al. 2013 and Lowson et al. 2007. All rate data (from the 127 experiments) are tabulated in...

Newberry Volcano in Central Oregon is the site of a Department of Energy funded Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) Demonstration Project. Stimulation and production of an EGS is a strong perturbation to the physical and chemical environment, giving rise to coupled Thermal-Hydrologic...

Physical property data for transitory heating of altered Rotokawa andesite under saturated conditions at 20 MPa pressure. "M" samples are moderately altered, and "H" samples are highly altered. White-background columns depict pre-treatment data. Grey-background columns depict post...

FY13 annual report describing the calculations and results associated with the data and dissolution rate contained in "Chlorite Kinetic Dissolution Data and Rate" (linked below).

End of well report for the drilling of AK-3, the 3rd core hole in Hot Springs Bay Valley on Akutan Island. Project initiated and managed by the City of Akutan. Previous exploration and drilling of first 2 wells by Alaska Energy Authority, and this well partially funded by DOE. Dri...

A database of geochemical data from potential geothermal sources aggregated from multiple sources as of March 2010. The database contains fields for the location, depth, temperature, pH, total dissolved solids concentration, chemical composition, and date of sampling. A separate...

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...

This is a map package that is used to show the wells in New Mexico that may be available for geochemical sampling.

The University of Hawaii at Manoa conducted a Play Fairway Analysis of the state of geothermal potential for the islands. Phase I included the aggregation of all existing geologic, geophysical and geochemical data available. A probability model incorporating heat, fluid, and perme...

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...

Plugging of fracture porosity from mineral precipitation due to injecting cold water into a a geothermal reservoir can impact the overall permeability of the fracture network in the reservoir. This can have serious ramifications on the efficiency of the geothermal resource. Geoche...

Data include 222Rn activities and complimentary geochemical data for multiple field experiments as part of an EGS project

Compilation of geochemical data in ~850 groundwater wells across the State of Hawaii

Chemical analyses of thermal and cold ground waters from Surprise Valley, California, compiled from publicly available sources, in collaboration with UC Davis.

Validation of Innovative Exploration Technologies for Newberry Volcano: DOE Geochemistry data from deep wells 55-29 and 46-16 at Newberry 2012

Aqueous chemistry and well metadata from the USGS for Geothermal Wells in Hawaii

Field data and 222Rn activities from the Altona well field. 222Rn, the most stable isotope of radon, was tested for during well extraction experiments. Tracers were also tracked to monitor the well. Data include 222Rn activities and complimentary geochemical data for multiple fiel...

Geothermal Technologies Program Peer Review Presentation on Blind Geothermal System Exploration in Active Volcanic Environments. Includes plans and statuses for multi-phase geophysical and geochemical surveys in overt and subtle volcanic systems in Hawaii and Maui.

A database of groundwater chemistry in the Great Basin, USA. The data is located at the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology. This contains data relevant to the Utah FORGE site.
