The application of geothermal applications is being aided by twenty-three field-experiment projects. The projects provide a current experience base against which the private and municipal sectors can evaluate potential projects and on which they can base their project plans. The results of thirteen of these projects are presented with emphasis on: energy replaced, economic payback, system designs, and resource assessment and development. The thirteen projects currently replace about 58,000 barrels of oil per year and avoid an imported oil cost of $1.7 million/year. They have a future potential of 84,000 barrels/year and $2.5 million/year.
