The Northern Basin and Range Geologic Province of the western USA has been widely recognized as a highly prospective area for high temperature geothermal reservoirs. Yet only six apparent discoveries resulted from the drilling of 53 geothermal wildcat wells in this area from 1974 through 1981. This relatively low success rate can be partly attributed to the difficulty of developing accurate geological and geophysical models in this area prior to drilling. However, it may also indicate that large high temperature geothermal reservoirs may be less common in this area than thought previously.
