Appendix A. State of the States and State of the Tribal Lands for Geothermal Resources and Permitting NEW MEXICO Resource Geography New Mexico contains abundant geothermal resources throughout a large temperature gradient. (USDOE 2007a). In a recent update of the geothermal database for New Mexico, 359 discrete thermal wells and springs were identified (NMEMNRD 2007). Resources suitable for most development are concentrated in the west and north-central regions of the state, with high temperature gradients ranging from 1.6° F to 2.5° F per 100 feet in depth (NMEM 2006). There are no geothermal power plants currently operating, however, direct-use applications are on-going. The northwest region contains volcanic activity from the Valles Caldera in the Jemez Mountain Range (west of Los Alamos), where the only known high-temperature geothermal system in the state occurs (base temperatures in this system exceed 500° F, 260° C) (USDOE 2007a). During the 1970s and 1980s a large geothermal power project was under development in the Valles Caldera, however regulatory and resource issues led to the cancellation of the project (demonstration projects revealed inconsistent reservoir permeability and low productivity, though drilling and testing indicated a viable potential of 20 MW) (Fleischmann 2007). While other potential geothermal resource areas exist, limited research has been done and most areas are without apparent surface manifestations. These areas are high-risk and developers in the state may need government funding to aid with early exploration and to reduce the high investment risk associated with their development. Sites in eight counties (Doña Ana, Grant, Hidalgo, McKinley, Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Sandoval, and Valencia), have been identified as potential geothermal resources (NMEMNRD 2007). The Rio Grande Rift area, specifically near Las Cruces, also needs to be explored in greater detail (Fleischmann 2007). Utilization There are no geothermal power plants currently operating, however, current development has included electric power production. An attempt to introduce geothermal electricity production occurred in the southwest at the Burgett Geothermal Greenhouses (near Cotton City), but was suspended due to design problems (NMEM 2006, USDOE 2007a). Drilling has occurred at two locations where small power units will be installed to provide electricity for an aquaculture facility and greenhouse. Other direct-use applications are on-going (USDOE 2007a). Technical Capabilities New Mexico universities, state agencies, and private firms contribute technical capabilities to the local and national geothermal communities. New Mexico State University (NMSU) at Las Cruces conducted geothermal research that resulted in the development of a geothermal space-heating system that at one point heated up to 30 campus buildings, such as dorms and athletic facilities.
