The authors have assessed that the Big Sulphur Creek fault zone may be part of a deep-seated, trench-style fault system through which hydrothermal fluids from deeper horizons rise to relatively shallow depths and field extensions are expected to be on the southeast and northwest. Certain survey methods are mentioned to determine the reservoir size and the possible recharge and production lifetime. Production well performance, production curves, and the importance of water injection are discussed.
