| Abstract | A slight redirection of state resource assessment team tasks is taking place with initiation of the User Coupled Confirmation Drilling Program in federal FY '81. State resource teams will conduct statewide inventories of hydrothermal resources in order to prioritize regions for additional work. Regional analysis of information will be done to refine target model concepts of selected areas and generate state resource maps for public use. Direct temperature measurements and indirect geological, geophysical, and geochemical studies will be employed of more detailed area exploration to produce technical maps and reports. Confirmation of specific hydrothermal reservoirs will be accomplished as part of the User Coupled Confirmation Drilling Program. |
