Appendix A. State of the States and State of the Tribal Lands for Geothermal Resources and Permitting MON T AN A A-22 Resource Geography The state of Montana has more than 50 geothermal areas and at least 15 high- temperature sites. There are seven locations with surface temperatures above 149° F (65° C), plus 20 locations with temperatures above 110° F (43° C). Low- and moderate-temperature wells and springs can be found in nearly all areas of Montana (MDEQ 2008). The US DOE and Montana state government have joined together to organize a database of locations where geothermal resources have been identified. Records show at least 15 high-temperature sites, several with estimated deep reservoir temperatures exceeding 176.7oC. Some of these sites are located in the vicinity of Helena, Bozeman, Ennis, Butte, Boulder and White Sulphur Springs (Fleischmann 2007, MDEQ 2008). Utilization While there are many areas in Montana with the potential to support geothermal electrical generation, development has thus far been limited to direct-use applications due to the proximity of previously proposed plans to Yellowstone National Park, an issue that created controversy and concern. Geothermal electrical development has also been overlooked in the past due to the state’s low fossil fuel prices, small population, and lack of transmission access to remote locations (Fleischmann 2007). Current development focuses on direct-use (mostly recreational and therapeutic). One private company is currently exploring the possibility of installing a small binary plant near an existing spa (Battocletti 2005). Technical Capacities No technical capacities are present in the state at this time. Electrical Power Generation and Capacity There is presently no installed geothermal electric capacity in the state. Electricity generation potential estimates are not available at this time. A recent study regarding deep oil wells at Poplar Dome Oil Field (located on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeast Montana) indicated potential for generating one MW from producing oil wells or three MW by deepening and hydrofracturing unused wells (via the injection of high-pressure water into bedrock in order to increase existing bedrock fractures). This area currently produces 20,000 barrels per day of water at 130oC and there is interest in the possibility of the area supporting small geothermal power plants (USDOE 2007a).
