Geothermal Systems, Low-Temperature Fairways and Reservoir Characterization in the Appalachian Basin Workshop

 

Geothermal Systems, Low-Temperature Fairways and Reservoir Characterization

In 2011, Google.org and Southern Methodist University published an online map of geothermal resources in the United States, with a prominent anomaly depicted in eastern West Virginia. Geologic features related to geothermal activity, such as thermal springs, igneous intrusive bodies, and hydrothermal mineralization patterns have been observed by many workers, but significant data gaps exist for even broad reservoir characterizations of deep subsurface units. Increasing interest in the potential resource created a rush to collect equilibrated bottom-hole temperatures, identify reservoirs with suitable temperature and fluid migration parameters, characterize fracture networks, and define utilization fairways for deep-direct use systems. Results from these studies are now being used to help design a drilling program for a deep test well (15,000 ft.) in proximity to West Virginia University.

Description:

The ODNR Division of Geological Survey Horace R. Collins Laboratory is a multi-use facility located at Alum Creek State Park in Delaware County, Ohio. Core, sample, and twelve other collections are housed at the Ohio Geological Sample Repository. One wing of the facility has laboratories for core and sample description and analysis, petrographic studies, aggregate testing, and sedimentation research. A second wing houses Division of Watercraft Central District offices. The Collins Lab also headquarters the Ohio Seismic Network and the Lake Erie Data Center.
