Abstract
The United States Department of Energy Geothermal Technologies Office released a Funding Opportunity Announcement in 2014 targeting studies to collect data in unexplored or underexplored regions, generate geothermal development favorability maps, and demonstrate methodology to quantify uncertainty. Eleven projects were selected for cooperative agreement awards. After a period of performance of one year, during which only existing data could be evaluated, each awardee presented project results for a competitive Downselect following the completion of Phase I. This paper summarizes and reviews the outcomes of Phase I activities. A comparison of play definition, Risk Factor development, Common Risk Segment Map construction, uncertainty quantification, Favorability Map generation, identification of areas for follow up work, and a preliminary application of the Geothermal Resource Reporting Metric is presented.
