GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Exploration Activity: Thermal Gradient Holes At Chena Geothermal Area (EERE, 2010)

Exploration Activity Details
Location	Chena Geothermal Area
Exploration Technique	Thermal Gradient Holes
Activity Date	2009 - 2010
Usefulness	useful
DOE-funding	Unknown

 

Exploration Basis

Exploration program undertaken during Phase II of the DOE-funded Geothermal Resource Evaluation and Definitions Program Phase I (GRED III Phase II)

 

Notes

A deeper well, TG-12, was drilled to approximately 2700 ft depth but the hypothesized temperature of 200°F was not encountered. Assisted in improving the understanding of the geothermal system as a whole.
