Notes

As a foundation for successful siting and drilling a deep test well, additional geophysical work has been completed including gravity, resistivity, and airborne magnetic surveys. Several new seismic profiles are planned to provide more focused siting and drilling plans. These new geophysical surveys are being integrated into the combined thermal, hydrologic, and subsurface stratigraphic information data sets to provide a comprehensive integrated geothermal model. From all of this information, the deep test well is to be sited to provide the optimum location for intersecting major fault structures at depth.
