New Mexico's geothermal resources

Journal Article · · Interstate Oil Compact Comm. Com. Bull.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6152803
A discussion of the location of potential geothermal sites in New Mexico was presented. The primary location of New Mexico's geothermal sites is associated with Quaternary faulting along the Rio Grande Rift. Also important in the formation of potential geothermal sites is Quaternary volcanic activity. Discussions of various geothermal projects and concepts were presented along with maps of the locations. Projects in the Valles Caldera just west of Sante Fe and the hot dry rock project at Fenton Hill were also discussed.
