OVERVIEW OF PREVIOUS REPORTS Geothermal power production could be at the leading edge of Texas energy development for this century. Texas has been building its geothermal resource knowledge base since the early 1900s, as shown by temperature data collected by Plummer and Sargent (1931) and Spicer (1964) from early oil wells typically between 2500 and 5000 feet deep. Starting in the mid 1970s, the U.S. oil embargo resulted in concentrated studies of geopressured - geothermal resources in Texas. Extensive grants of approximately $200 million were awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The primary goals of these studies were to: define the extent of the geopressured reservoirs; determine the technical feasibility of reservoir development, including downhole, surface and disposal technologies; establish the economics of production; identify and mitigate adverse environmental impacts; identify and resolve legal and institutional barriers and determine the viability of commercial exploitation of this resource (John et al., 1998). This previous research revealed massive geothermal and geopressure resources in Texas. It concluded with the successful demonstration of geopressure electrical generation conducted by the DOE at Pleasant Bayou, Brazoria County in 1989-90 (Shook, 1992; John et al., 1998). Technical feasibility was demonstrated, but momentum was lost during the period of low energy prices between 1985 and 2003. C.M. Woodruff investigated geothermal energy in Texas throughout the 1970s to the early 1990s. His research focused primarily on the mid-depth ranges of geothermal resources (5000 feet to the surface), and aquifers associated with low to moderate temperatures (70 to 150°F), useful for direct use applications and not electrical power generation. Woodruff wrote the first Geothermal Resource Assessment for the State of Texas in 1980 and produced the Geothermal Map of Texas in 1982. Much of his research focused on to the Balcones, Luling, Mexia, and Talco fault zones with an evaluation of hydrologic properties of Cretaceous aquifers located in North and Central Texas and low-temperature development for direct use applications (Woodruff and McBride, 1979), such as heating hot water in the community hospital in Marlin, Texas (Woodruff et al., 1982). More recent studies/research focus on regional heat flow off-shore in the Gulf of Mexico (Nagihara and Jones, 2005; Nagihara and Smith, 2008) and as part of the Geothermal Map of 8PDF Image | Texas Geothermal Assessment for the I35 Corridor East
