Interactive map developed for geothermal resources in Wyoming
An interactive, free-to-use map created by the Wyoming State Geological Survey reveals the geothermal assets in Wyoming utilizing information from USGS, NREL, and SMU Geothermal Lab.
The Wyoming State Geological Survey (WSGS) have provide you with an interactive on-line map that reveals information on the geothermal assets of Wyoming. Among the many information represented are the situation of thermal springs, temperatures and places of boreholes, the situation and extent of anomalous geothermal gradients, and modeled estimates of groundwater temperature and geothermal potential.
The interactive map may be accessed by way of this hyperlink. It’s free to make use of and publicly out there.
The information used within the map got here from the Nationwide Renewable Power Laboratory (NREL), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Southern Methodist College Geothermal Laboratory (SMU Geothermal Lab), and WSGS. The information obtained from different companies are introduced within the map with out alternations. The map can even be up to date as new information turns into out there.
“This map, which compiles intensive present information, will help researchers, consultants, and authorities companies to higher perceive the distribution of our geothermal assets each on the floor and within the subsurface.” stated WGC Director and State Geologist Dr. Erin Campbell.
Earlier this 12 months, we reported on the efforts of the Wyoming Power Authority to do a state-wide evaluation of geothermal assets. Petrolern LLC was contracted to conduct the detailed evaluation of the potential of geothermal in Wyoming for energy manufacturing, warmth pump purposes, and direct use.
