Page Six December 2005 SMU Geological Sciences Continued from Pages 4 & 5 Starkey Wilson Joins ISEM Board By Louis L. Jacobs President of I.S.E.M. Geothermal Map of North America, AAPG, 2004 Types of Data BHT Data from AAPG calibrated sites: Geothermal exploration sites: Conventional heat flow holes: Oceanic heat flow Measurements 14,605 sites 4,045 sites 3,750 sites 3,740 sites Contour interval: ~5 mW/m2 The 2004 map published by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists is the framework for heat flow studies in North America for the 21st century. Heat flow mea- surements form the basis for determining the thickness of the thermal lithosphere, the transition from the surface of the Earth to the interior region where the temperature grows slowly with depth (from 10’s oC/km to 0.1’s oC/km). The large scale features result from plate tectonic effects: high heat flow along mid-ocean ridges; cold zones near recent subduction zones, the western active margin; the hot Basin & Range, USA, as part of a back arc stretching from the Bering Sea to Central America, and the coldest zone as- sociated with the thickest lithosphere near Hudson Bay. Many subregional to small scale patterns are shown for the first time on this map because of the additional de- tail available at the 5 mW/m2 contour interval. These pat- terns, in many cases, need to be investigated in detail to un- derstand their significance and origin. Factors such as large scale aquifers and crustal radioactivity variations may give rise to this scale of anomalies. The EARTHSCOPE project forms an obvious vehicle to provide new insights and detail on the horizontal scale of major heat flow variations. Starkey A.Wilson (B.S., 1951) was voted onto the Board of the Institute for the Study of Earth and Man last spring. He brings an eclectic resource perspective to the table having worked in oil, gas, coal and mineral exploration,, and most recently renewable energy. He also has been in- volved in coal and gold mining. Starkey Wilson Wilson’s currrent passion is a project to bring electrical power generated from renewable resources to Akutan Is- land, part of the Aleutian volcanic belt. The island is home to the 2nd largest fish processing plant in the U.S which currently gets its power from diesel generators. Initially, the plan is to provide electricity and direct heat for the town of Akutan from the geothermal system present there and to use wind power for supplementary electricity generation. I compressed and transported by sea to where its needed, a textbook economic geology exercise. Currently, much of the world’s hydrogen is produced industrially by some variation of reforming steam at high temperature (water-gas reaction) using natural gas as a heat source; it consumes fossil fuel producing CO2 that contributes to global warming. n the future, Wilson envisions the possibility of using excess energy to split hydrogen from water that can be continued from page 1 Figure 3: Inferred temperatures at the 13,000 ft and 20,000 ft levels for Louisiana and adjacent areas con- toured in Fahrenheit using BHT and available geologic data. The warm- est colors indicate temperatures in excess of 300 oF. Records from Ar- kansas and Alabama demonstrate sufficient water flows to sustain gen- eration of electricity. With current technology, 1.5 MW of electricity generation requires approximately 106 barrels (bbl) of water production per month at a well temperature of 300 oF (McKenna et al. 2005).
