Description
The files included in this submission contain all data pertinent to the methods and results of this task's output, which is a cohesive multi-state map of all known potential geothermal reservoirs in our region, ranked by their potential favorability. Favorability is quantified using a new metric, Reservoir Productivity Index, as explained in the Reservoirs Methodology Memo (included in zip file). Shapefile and images of the Reservoir Productivity and Reservoir Uncertainty are included as well (hover over file display names to see actual file names in bottom-left corner of screen).

| Reservoirs Methodology Memo.pdf | Comprehensive explanation of methods used to complete the milestones for the GPFA-AB Phase 1 Task 2, Natural Reservoirs Quality Analysis. This memo refers to an acompany document, Reservoir Database Inputs, which corresponds to Reservoir_Database_Inputs.pdf. | Open resource | |
| Reservoir Extents.zip | ZIP | *Newer version exists - see link below. This shapefile contains the data associated with the GPFA-AB Phase 1 Natural Reservoirs Quality Analysis, in a format that can be uploaded into any GIS software. The final values for Reservoir Productivity Index (RPI) and uncertainty (in terms of coefficient of variation, CV) are held in columns "RPI" and "RPI CV". RPI is in units of liters per MegaPascal-second (L/MPa-s), quantified using permeability, thickness of formation, and depth. A higher RPI is more optimal. Coefficient of Variation (CV) is the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean RPI for each reservoir. A lower CV is more optimal. Details on these metrics can be found in the Reservoirs_Methodology_Memo.pdf. | Open resource |
