A shallow geothermal reservoir in the Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico may indicate a commercialscale geothermal energy potential in the area. To explore the geothermal resource at Jemez Pueblo, seismic surveys are conducted along three lines for the purpose of imaging complex subsurface structures near the Indian Springs fault zone. A 3-D magneto-telluric (MT) survey is also carried out in the sa...

in this paper, fourteen mt stations along a profile perpendicular to the main geological structure were used in order to identify the geology of sabalan geothermal field including the extension of the surface cap-rock and clay-cap layers. the mt data collected between 1-8192 hz is of useful quality and provides good control on the surface layers in many areas. it means that reliable modeling sh...

This work is focused on presenting the main results and discussions concerning environmental benefits of reducing non-condensable gases emitted from Nesjavellir geothermal power plant. The primary objective this study to conduct a life cycle evaluation analyse overall benefit effects producing 1 kWh electricity thermal energy in plant at Nesjavellir, which located Iceland. assessment performed ...

Europe is the world leader in geothermal direct use. Geothermal is used in 32 European countries mainly for space heating, bathing and balneotherapy, than for heating greenhouses, aquaculture, and industrial use. In a number of countries the development is based on waters exploited from deep wells. Some countries have been dynamically developing shallow geothermal based on heat pumps. Power gen...

This paper documents the approach used to update the U.S. geothermal supply curve. The geothermal supply curve analysis undertaken in this study estimates the supply of electricity generation potential from geothermal resources in the United States and the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), capital costs, and operating and maintenance costs associated with developing these geothermal resourc...
