“…Geothermal exploration in the southeast portion of the Carson Sink has been ongoing since 1973, when Phillips Petroleum initiated a drilling program that included 28 shallow gradient holes. In total, about 60 temperature gradient holes were drilled in the area during the 1970s and 1980s between Phillips Petroleum, Anadarko, Hunt Oil, the Navy GPO, and the USGS (Bruce, 1979;Trexler et al, 1981;Katzenstein and Bjornstad, 1987;Benoit, 1990;Combs et al, 1995;Ross et al, 1996;Desormier, 1997). This early work identified a prominent shallow thermal anomaly ~5 km long, elongate north-northeast, transecting the southeast part of the Ormat lease area, and became known as the Carson Lake geothermal prospect (Benoit, 1990).…”

Further dissemination authorized to the Department of Energy and DOE contractors only; other requests shall be approved by the originating facility or higher DOE programmatic authority. During Phase 2A, 2B, and 2C, the Fallon FORGE site will be instrumented and readied to test new technologies and techniques in Phase 3. In Phase 2A, an Environmental Information Volume will be completed while a schedule to complete the NEPA process and obtain required permits will be completed. Additionally, preliminary telemetered seismic monitoring of the site will be deployed to complement existing seismic monitoring activities at the Fallon FORGE site. During Phase 2B all reviews, permits, and approvals initiated in Phase 2A will be obtained in accordance with NEPA and other local and state regulations. It is anticipated that these permits will be obtained early in Phase 2B and additional site characterization allowed by NEPA and applicable permits to begin. Phase 2B will also include the completion of the Induced Seismicity Mitigation Plan that will incorporate recorded site MEQ data and associated analyses into a Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis, Criteria for Damage and Vibration, and Mitigation Actions for field testing. In 2C the site is brought to readiness for FORGE implementation through, at a minimum, additional surface and subsurface site characterization, deployment of high resolution seismic monitoring, geologic model refinement, and reservoir modeling. Additionally, a Science and Technology Analysis Team (STAT) will be assembled to provide technical guidance to the FORGE team and to ensure DOE objectives are incorporated in FORGE execution. As a result of working with the STAT to assess current technology, establish technical baseline information and performance metrics for FORGE work, and review the FORGE implementation plan, topics for the first round of competitive solicitations will be developed and a draft solicitation produced. Where applicable and appropriate, DOE may elect to have the Fallon FORGE team incorporate testing of methods and tools developed by separately funded DOE researchers into FORGE activities.

“…During past explorations, only a few deep boreholes were drilled. One of the best examples is in Pumpernickel Valley, where soil mercury surveys of 130 samples of valley alluvium, 110 two-meter temperature probe tests, but only 10 boreholes ranging in depth from 5 to 91 meters were accomplished (Trexler et al, 1982 (SASS, 2001a). Southern Pacific drilled 69 drilled additional boreholes in the areas ranging in depth from 23 to 91 meters, with a highest measured temperature of 46°C at 91 meters.…”
