Abstract

A valuable resource of computer technologies is available to address the rapidly expanding mass of information geoscientists encounter in interpreting geophysical, geologic and related data for the purpose of helping operators decide where and how to drill. Some of these new techniques have been recently described by operating and service companies in various technical meetings. A related problem--for which industry is working on a solution--is how to number wells to keep track of valuable data as cooperative surveys incorporate more and more separate properties. These considerations are the subjects of three following articles which cover: GIS--Geographic Information Systems, which facilitate spatial and descriptive data management and analysis--functions crucial to the E and P industry. GIS also holds promise as a primary management planning and decision-support tool.

Reducing Subjectivity in Geothermal Exploration Decision Making (Presentation); NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory)

Conference Akar, S.; Young, K.

Geothermal exploration projects have a significant amount of risk associated with uncertainties encountered in the discovery of the geothermal resource. Two of the largest challenges for increased geothermal deployment are 1) understanding when and how to proceed in an exploration program, and 2) when to walk away from a site. Current methodologies for exploration decision-making are formulatedby subjective expert opinion which can be incorrectly biased by expertise (e.g. geochemistry, geophysics), geographic location of focus, and the assumed conceptual model. The aim of this project is to develop a methodology for more objective geothermal exploration decision making at a given location,more »« less

Sun Grant/DOE Regional Feedstock Partnership: Final Technical Report

Technical Report Owens, Vance

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Sun Grant Initiative initiated the Regional Feedstock Partnership (referred to as the Partnership) in 2007 primarily to address information gaps associated with the likelihood for realization of the sustainable and reliable production of a billion-tons of biomass annually to support the U.S. bioenergy industry by the year 2030. Publication of The Technical Feasibility of a Billion-Ton Annual Supply (Perlack et al., 2005) in 2005, with its associated yield assumptions, led to the realization that the yield goals and assumptions utilized in that analysis required careful validation. To achieve the overall goal ofmore »« less

Expansion and Enhacement of the Wyoming Coalbed Methane Clearinghouse Website to the Wyoming Energy Resources Information Clearinghouse.

Technical Report Hulme, Diana; Hamerlinck, Jeffrey; Bergman, Harold; ...

Energy development is expanding across the United States, particularly in western states like Wyoming. Federal and state land management agencies, local governments, industry and non-governmental organizations have realized the need to access spatially-referenced data and other non-spatial information to determine the geographical extent and cumulative impacts of expanding energy development. The Wyoming Energy Resources Information Clearinghouse (WERIC) is a web-based portal which centralizes access to news, data, maps, reports and other information related to the development, management and conservation of Wyoming's diverse energy resources. WERIC was established in 2006 by the University of Wyoming's Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment and Naturalmore »« less
