Soda Lake Geothermal: Raw 3D and 3C Seismic-Reflection Data from 2010 Survey

Dataset N. Louie, John ; Lu, Chao ; Monastero, Francis

This dataset contains seismic-reflection records created in 2010 around the Soda Lake geothermal field near Fallon, Nevada. The data was collected by the power plant operator at the time, Magma Energy (CYRQ Energy in 2024). This was a petroleum-industry-quality three-dimensional (3D) and three-component (3C) seismic reflection survey covering about 36 square miles. Most of the volume of this raw data set consists of 3D seismic records saved as hundreds of SEG-Y files, with one 3D seismic record file per vibrator source location, called "shot records". The data is in SEG-Y format, with each shot record containing three geophone components formore »« less
3D Model of the Tuscarora Geothermal Area

Dataset E., James

The Tuscarora geothermal system sits within a ~15 km wide left-step in a major west-dipping range-bounding normal fault system. The step over is defined by the Independence Mountains fault zone and the Bull Runs Mountains fault zone which overlap along strike. Strain is transferred between these major fault segments via and array of northerly striking normal faults with offsets of 10s to 100s of meters and strike lengths of less than 5 km. These faults within the step over are one to two orders of magnitude smaller than the range-bounding fault zones between which they reside. Faults within the broadmore »« less
3D Model of the San Emidio Geothermal Area

Dataset E., James

The San Emidio geothermal system is characterized by a left-step in a west-dipping normal fault system that bounds the western side of the Lake Range. The 3D geologic model consists of 5 geologic units and 55 faults. Overlying Jurrassic-Triassic metasedimentary basement is a ~500 m-1000 m thick section of the Miocene lower Pyramid sequence, pre- syn-extensional Quaternary sedimentary rocks and post-extensional Quaternary rocks. 15-30 degrees eastward dip of the stratigraphy is controlled by the predominant west-dipping fault set. Both geothermal production and injection are concentrated north of the step over in an area of closely spaced west dipping normal faults.
3D Model of the McGinness Hills Geothermal Area

Dataset E. Faulds, James

The McGinness Hills geothermal system lies in a ~8.5 km wide, north-northeast trending accommodation zone defined by east-dipping normal faults bounding the Toiyabe Range to the west and west-dipping normal faults bounding the Simpson Park Mountains to the east. Within this broad accommodation zone lies a fault step-over defined by north-northeast striking, west-dipping normal faults which step to the left at roughly the latitude of the McGinness Hills geothermal system. The McGinness Hills 3D model consists of 9 geologic units and 41 faults. The basal geologic units are metasediments of the Ordovician Valmy and Vininni Formations (undifferentiated in the model)more »« less
3D Model of the Neal Hot Springs Geothermal Area

Dataset E., James

The Neal Hot Springs geothermal system lies in a left-step in a north-striking, west-dipping normal fault system, consisting of the Neal Fault to the south and the Sugarloaf Butte Fault to the north (Edwards, 2013). The Neal Hot Springs 3D geologic model consists of 104 faults and 13 stratigraphic units. The stratigraphy is sub-horizontal to dipping
