Geothermal energy: Geology, exploration, and developments. Part I

Description: Geology, exploration, and initial developments of significant geothermal areas of the world are summarized in this report which is divided into two parts. Part 1 is a review of the geological and explorational aspects of geothermal energy development; areas of potential development in the Western United States are also discussed. The most favorable geological environment for exploration and development of geothermal steam is characterized by recent normal faulting, volcanism, and high heat flow… more

Research on the physical properties of geothermal reservoir rocks. Summary report on collection of samples of volcanic rocks for petrophysical studies. Progress report 1. [From the Snake River Plain, the Columbia Plateaus, the Cascade Range, the Modoc, south central Nevada, and Jemez volcanic fields]

Description: Rock samples were collected from the Snake River Plain volcanic depression of Idaho, the Columbia Plateau's volcanic basin located in southeastern Washington, northeastern Oregon, and western Idaho, the Modoc volcanic province of northeastern California, the volcanic fields of south central Nevada, and the Jemez volcanic field of north central New Mexico. Strategy governing sample selection is described. From each field, 64 individual rock samples, each being several kilograms in size, were col… more

The Colorado School of Mines Nevada Geothermal Study Progress Report No. 4, February 1--October 31, 1975

Description: This is the fourth in a series of reports that describe the progress of geological, geophysical, and geochemical exploration research for geothermal energy sources in a Basin and Range setting. The region of our investigation lies in the Gerlach-Hualapai Flat area in the southwestern part of the Black Rock Desert of northwestern Nevada (Plate I). Included herein are preliminary presentations of results of field investigations carried out mainly during the summer of 1975 by graduate students and… more

Research on the physical properties of geothermal reservoir rock. Annual report, September 1, 1977

Description: Measurements have been made of the electrical resistivity, the acoustic wave speed, density, and water content of six groups of rock samples taken from Cenozoic volcanic units. It has been found from these measurements that the correlations between physical properties are significantly different in the case of volcanic rocks than in the case of sandstones and limestones. For a given porosity and water content, the resistivity of a volcanic rock is several fold greater than that of a sandstone o… more

Research on the physical properties of geothermal reservoir rock. Quarterly report, March 1978

Description: A laboratory study of the P-wave velocity and electric resistivity was undertaken on Cenozoic volcanic rocks collected from the Columbia Plateau volcanic basin (C) and the Jemez volcanic field (NM). Electric resistivities of cylindrical samples saturated with 0.1 N NaCl solution were measured using a four electrode system and a 1.0 KHz frequency source. Seismic P-wave velocities were calculated from measured transit time of mechanical pulses generated and received by piezoelectric transducers. … more

Thermal Data of the Black Rock Desert area Humbolt and Washoe Counties, Nevada

Description: This is a progress report on analysis of thermal data from the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada. Hot springs at Soldier Meadows, Fly Ranch, Gerlach, and Pinto Mountains were mapped, and water flows and temperatures measured, by G.W. Berry and G.R. Downs in 1965 and 1966. These data have been studied further by Frank Hadsell (geophysicist) and L.T. Grose (geologist) at the Colorado School of Mines and with the computer facilities of the School of Mines Graduate Research Center, in an effort… more
