Unocal Corporation is carrying the search for geothermal resources to northeastern California, almost to the Oregon border. In July 1988, the company was drilling in the Glass Mountain area, about 25 miles south of Tule Lake and 30 miles south of the Oregon border. Originally, Unocal drilled the well in 1984 as a temperature-gradient hole, bottoming at 6,500 feet. On the present go-round, Union may deepen the well to about 8,500 feet. Unocal said the well was completed. They are testing the well and evaluating the test results, but its too early to tell whether or not there is a project and what size any potential project would be.
