| Abstract |
In January 1982, the participants in the 50 MW Geothermal Demonstration Power Plant at Baca, NM, signed an agreement of nonviability terminating the Baca project. This joint action by Union Geothermal Company of New Mexico, Public Service Company of New Mexico, and the U.S. Department of Energy was the result of technical difficulties encountered in drilling the steam supply wells. Since May 1981, a review team formed by DOE has conducted an independent assessment of reservoir definition activities. The conclusions of that team are summarized. |
