North America (Blackwell and Richards, 2004a); a review of the geothermal resources in the South Central portion of the United States (Negraru et al., 2008); and the use of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in the United States with each individual state’s resources categorized (Tester et al., 2006; Blackwell et al., 2006). Additionally, a resource study of oil and gas well data examines the geothermal resource potential in West Texas (Erdlac, 2006). These studies proved conclusively that geothermal resources exist. Geopressure continues to be viewed as an integral part of the Texas geothermal resource. A search for “geopressure and Texas” on the Office of Science and Technology Information website results in over 300 publications5. As a single option, the geopressure resource holds the largest potential for electrical development in Texas. Geological understanding of this geopressured resource has changed little since the completion of studies in the 1990s, but technology and energy economics have continually evolved. Therefore, past geologic research is of the utmost importance as a knowledge base for this and any future geothermal assessment or development project. A review of the multiple geopressure publications and references is provided in Appendix A. GENERALIZED REGIONAL GEOLOGY Throughout geologic time Texas has experienced multiple periods of uplift and regional seas covering the surface creating the numerous layers of sediments. The depth to basement determines the maximum thickness of sedimentary layers, and therefore the maximum depth of drilling for oil and gas wells. The eastern half of the state was part of the collision between the North American tectonic plate and the Europe-African-South American plate that formed the supercontinent Pangaea. This event folded and faulted the sediments now exposed in the Appalachian Mountains, the Ouachita Mountains in southwestern Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma, and the Marathon region near Big Bend National Park in West Texas. Originally a mountain chain extended through the zone of deformation between the Ouachitas and Big Bend around the Llano uplift, but the region is now covered by younger sediments and the exact nature of these rocks is not known. Today these buried “mountains” form the basement rocks under much of Central Texas as part of the Ouachita Overthrust Belt. 5 http://www.osti.gov 9
