Current Activities at the Utah Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE): A Laboratory for Characterizing, Creating and Sustaining Enhanced Geothermal Systems

All Days, 2023
Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) offer the best potential for meeting the U.S. Department of Energy's objective of 90,000 MWe by 2050. The Utah Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) was established to de-risk tools and ...

Geothermal Gradients on Svalbard, Arctic Norway

Proceedings, 2018
The high Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, Norway, is considering to replace the currently operating coal-fuelled power plants. Besides local fossil energy sources such as coal or shale gas in combination with carbon storage and sequestration, renewable sources such as geothermal energy are being considered as alternatives.

Geothermal gradients in the conterminous United States

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 1988
Geothermal gradients from published temperature/depth measurements in drill holes generally deeper than 600 m are used to construct a temperature gradient map of the conterminous United States. The broadly contoured map displays 284 temperature gradients that are applicable to a depth of 2 km.

High geothermal gradient metamorphism during thermal subsidence

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1998
The burial of a basement sequence enriched in heat producing elements during thermal subsidence following rifting produces two concomitant changes in the thermal structure of the crust. Firstly, the burial of the enriched layer produces high geothermal gradients in the overlying sedimentary succession, with the high gradients propagating down into, but

Geothermal gradients of Alberta in Western Canada

Geothermics, 1984
Abstract 55,246 bottom hole temperature (BHT) values from petroleum exploration well logs of 28,260 wells have been used to estimate geothermal gradients in Alberta. A general decrease in geothermal gradient towards the east is apparent. High gradient areas occur in the Hinton - Edson area of west central Alberta, in the Fort McMurray area of ...

Geothermal Gradients Through Time

1984
Temperature-depth curves (geotherms) on a global scale are controlled by the overall cooling of the Earth as limited by its thermal boundary layers. On global length scales and 109a. time scales, the geothermal gradient in the continental lithosphere is likely to have decreased substantially, reflecting the progressive decrease in heat production from ...

Geothermal gradients in a high-organic content landfill

2023
INTRODUCTION Les processus de biodégradation qui ont lieu dans les décharges de déchets solides municipaux (DSM) fournissent non seulement du lixiviat et du biogaz en tant que sous-produits, mais aussi de la chaleur en raison de la nature exothermique des réactions biochimiques qui décomposent la matière organique [1,2].

Determination of Geothermal Gradients in Oklahoma

AAPG Bulletin, 1930
The American Petroleum Institute is carrying on an extensive investigation of the geothermal gradients in the oil fields of California, Texas, and Oklahoma, the purpose of which is to determine the possibility of using temperature data for the location of future oil pools.
