Abstract

Site characteristics pertinent to the geothermal development are described, including: physiography, demography, economy, and goals and objectives of the citizens as they relate to geothermal development. The geothermal reservoir is characterized on the basis of available information. The probable drilling depth to the reservoir, anticipated water production rates, water quality, and resource temperature are indicated. Uses of the energy that seem appropriate to the situation both now and in the near future at Hawthorne are described. The essential institutional requirements for geothermal energy development are discussed, including the financial, environmental, and legal and regulatory aspects. The various steps that are necessary to accomplish the construction of the geothermal district heating system are described.

Deep Direct-Use Geothermal Feasibility Study for Hawthorne NV

Technical Report Lowry, Thomas; Ayling, Bridget; Hinz, Nicholas; ...

The Hawthorne Nevada, deep direct-use geothermal study is a two-year effort funded by the U.S. Department of Energy to determine the techno-economic feasibility of implementing a large-scale, direct-use facility for the Hawthorne Army Depot (HAD) and the public facilities of the city of Hawthorne and Mineral County. The approach links a production side analysis (PSA) and a demand side analysis (DSA) into a whole-system analysis (WSA) to provide an integrated assessment of the resource and the probability of delivering economically viable direct-use energy to Hawthorne. Hawthorne, Nevada is in the western part of the Basin and Range province and hasmore »« less

Geothermal district heating institutional factors: the Klamath Falls experience

Journal Article Lienau, P - Bull., Geotherm. Resour. Counc. (Davis, Calif.); (United States)

The city of Klamath Falls Geothermal District Heating System began providing heat to ten government buildings on March 20, 1984. This start is two and one-half years after completion of the system. Construction and this operation is scheduled for only a four month test period. The delay was the result of citizens objecting to pumping from and injecting fluids into the geothermal reservoir and was legally enforced by means of a city ordinance passed by the voters. This Initiative Ordinance essentially regulates production of the resource by requiring any water pumped from a geothermal well be returned to that samemore »« less
