Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis: Methodology Flow Charts

공공데이터포털

These images show the comprehensive methodology used for creation of a Play Fairway Analysis to explore the geothermal resource potential of the Tularosa Basin, New Mexico. The deterministic methodology was originated by the petroleum industry, but was custom-modified to function as a knowledge-based geothermal exploration tool. The stochastic PFA flow chart uses weights of evidence, and is data-driven.

Tularosa Basin Play Fairway: Weights of Evidence Models

공공데이터포털

These models are related to weights of evidence play fairway anlaysis of the Tularosa Basin, New Mexico and Texas. They were created through Spatial Data Modeler: ArcMAP 9.3 geoprocessing tools for spatial data modeling using weights of evidence, logistic regression, fuzzy logic and neural networks. It used to identify high values for potential geothermal plays and low values. The results are relative not only within the Tularosa Basin, but also throughout New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, and other places where high to moderate enthalpy geothermal systems are present (training sites).

Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis: Raw MT Data for the McGregor Range, Fort Bliss, New Mexico

공공데이터포털

This is a zipped file containing raw magnetotelluric (MT) data collected as part of the Phase 2 Tularosa Basin geothermal play fairway analysis project in New Mexico. The data for each MT station are in standard .edi text files which are accompanied by graphic files illustrating details. These data cover part of McGregor Range, Fort Bliss, New Mexico. The MT survey was done by Quantec Geoscience.

Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis Data and Models

공공데이터포털

This submission includes raster datasets for each layer of evidence used for weights of evidence analysis as well as the deterministic play fairway analysis (PFA). Data representative of heat, permeability and groundwater comprises some of the raster datasets. Additionally, the final deterministic PFA model is provided along with a certainty model. All of these datasets are best used with an ArcGIS software package, specifically Spatial Data Modeler.

Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis: Pleistocene Lake Otero

공공데이터포털

This submission includes a geotiff of the geographic extent of Pleistocene Lake Otero; which was used as apart of the groundwater composite risk segment in a Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis.

Innovative Play Fairway Modelling Applied to the Tularosa Basin Project Report

공공데이터포털

This report describes all of the work done in Phase I of a geothermal exploration project in the Tularosa Basin, as well as an outline for Phase II work, and more.

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

공공데이터포털

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.

Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis: Hydrothermal Alteration Map

공공데이터포털

This is a hydrothermal alteration map of the Tularosa Basin area, New Mexico and Texas that was created using Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) multispectral data band ratios based upon diagnostic features of clay, calcite, silica, gypsum, ferric iron, and ferrous iron. Mesoproterozoic granite in the San Andreas Range often appeared altered, but this may be from clays produced by weathering or, locally, by hydrothermal alteration. However, no field checking was done.

Tularosa Basin Play Fairway Analysis: Temperature, Geochemistry, and Gravity Data

공공데이터포털

This submission contains multiple excel spreadsheets and associated written reports. The datasets area are representative of shallow temperature, geochemistry, and other well logging observations made across WSMR (white sands missile range); located to the west of the Tularosa Basin but still within the study area. Written reports accompany some of the datasets, and they provide ample description of the methodology and results obtained from these studies. Gravity data is also included, as point data in a shapefile, along with a written report describing that particular study.
