Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis: Weights of Evidence; Mineralogy, and Temperature Anomaly Maps

Description

This submission has two shapefiles and a tiff image. The weights of evidence analysis was applied to data representing heat of the earth and fracture permeability using training sites around the Southwest; this is shown in the tiff image. A shapefile of surface temperature anomalies was derived from the statistical analysis of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared data which had been converted to surface temperatures; these anomalies have not been field checked. The second shapefile shows outcrop mineralogy which originally mapped by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, and supplemented with mineralogic information related to rock fracability risk for EGS. Further metadata can be found within each file.

57 Surface temperature anomalies in Tularosa Basin, New Mexico and Texas, derived from the statistical analysis of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) thermal infrared data which had been converted to surface temperatures. These anomalies have not been field checked.This work was done as part of the Innovative Play Fairway Modeling Applied to the Tularosa Basin. https://gdr.openei.org/files/651/Tularosa_Basin_temp_anomalies.zip
57 Weights of evidence (WoE) analysis was applied to data representing heat of the earth (Si geothermometers, heat flow, and temperature gradients) and fault related fracture permeability (Quaternary faults and fault related zones of critical stress) using training sites in New Mexico, Utah, and Nevada. This dataset is the post-probability results and values are relative to the training sites which included known geothermal systems and hot springs. This work was done as part of the Innovative Play Fairway Modeling Applied to the Tularosa Basin project. https://gdr.openei.org/files/651/Tularosa_Basin_WoE_PFA.zip
57 Rock units mapped by the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (1:500,000) are supplemented with mineralogic information related to rock fracability risk for EGS. Minerals that create soft, moderately hard, and hard (brittle) rocks were mapped including relative silica, calcite, clay, and gypsum abundance using ASTER band ratios. Please note: these results have not been field checked.This work was done as part of the Innovative Play Fairway Modeling Applied to the Tularosa Basin project. https://gdr.openei.org/files/651/Tularosa_Basin_mineralogy_EGS.zip
