Abstract

The individual shapefiles in this dataset delineate estimated temperature contours (20, 40, 60, and 80 deg C) at a depth of 200 m in the Milford, Utah FORGE area. Contours were derived from 86 geothermal, gradient, and other wells drilled in the area since the mid-1970s with depths greater than 50 m. Conductive temperature profiles for wells less than 200 m were extrapolated to determine the temperature at the desired depth. Because 11 wells in the eastern section of the study area (in and around the Mineral Mountains) are at higher elevations compared to those closer to the center of the basin, temperature profiles were extrapolated to a constant elevation of 200 m below the 1830 m (6000 ft) a.s.l. datum (approximate elevation of alluvial fans at the base of the Mineral Mountains) to smooth the contours across the ridges and valleys.

This submission contains several ArcGIS shapefiles, each with Temperature contour lines at different depths. Subsurface temperature were important for characterizing the geothermal system beneath the FORGE site in Milford, Utah.
Utah FORGE: Heat Flow Contours and Well Data

Dataset Moore, Joe

This submission contains a shapefile of heat flow contour lines around the FORGE site located in Milford, Utah. The model was interpolated from data points in the Milford_wells shapefile. This heat flow model was interpolated from 66 data points using the kriging method in Geostatistical Analyst tool of ArcGIS. The resulting model was smoothed 100%. The well dataset contains 59 wells from various sources, with lat/long coordinates, temperature, quality, basement depth, and heat flow. This data was used to make models of the specific characteristics.
Utah FORGE: GIS Well Temperature Data

Dataset Gwynn, Mark ; Hill, Jay ; Allis, Rick

This is a GIS point feature shapefile representing wells, and their temperatures, that are located in the general Utah FORGE area near Milford, Utah. There are also fields that represent interpolated temperature values at depths of 200 m, 1000 m, 2000 m, 3000 m, and 4000 m. in degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature values at specific depths as mentioned above were derived as follows. In cases where the well reached a given depth (200 m and 1, 2, 3, or 4 km), the temperature is the measured temperature.
