This grant from the Department of Energy aims to reduce risk and improve drilling success rates for geothermal power projects. It seeks projects that use innovative exploration technologies to collect new data or apply new analysis methods for increased value extraction. Successful applications will focus on regions identified in GTO’s Data Gap Analysis and include uncertainty analysis to demonstrate impact on success rates. The projects should result in the development of a Geothermal Play Fairway, delineating a region with favorable structural and hydrological conditions. Deadline for submissions is on Apr 11, 2014.

| Description: | Reducing risk through improved drilling success rates is critical to securing financing and ultimately lowering overall costs for developing geothermal power projects. This success hinges on knowledge of the geological, geophysical, and geochemical characteristics that indicate geothermal favorability; along with improved coverage of data that are signatures of the key properties of temperature, permeability, and fluid. To this end, GTO is interested in projects that apply innovative exploration technologies to collect new data and/or apply new analysis methods to extract new value from data. Successful applications will focus on one of the regions identified in GTO?s Data Gap Analysis, and include a significant component of uncertainty analysis that directly demonstrates potential or real impact on success rates. Projects should lead to the development of a Geothermal Play Fairway, which details a specific region constrained through a favorabl e combination of structural and hydrological conditions. |
