Figure 2.6. Map of The Geysers Geothermal Well Field 2.2 Geysers Development History The history of The Geysers geothermal field as presented by Hodgson (2010) includes a progression through 5 eras of evolution, from early Native discovery to modern day commercial power generation. Surface manifestations of the thermal anomaly in The Geysers area, such as fumaroles and hot springs, were initially used by Native Americans for domestic and health-related benefits. These same features drew significant attention from early developers looking for ways to exploit the vast resource. The earliest development began in the 1850s with the construction of a resort hotel. However, electrical power generation from natural steam at The Geysers was not considered seriously until the 1920s. The first geothermal wells were drilled in 1921, and private power production was developed to support The Geysers Resort. Eight additional wells were drilled and tested between 1922 and 1925. Although well tests indicated sufficient deliverability to support small-scale power production, commercial development was not pursed for more than a couple decades. In the mid 1950s, a new drilling program was initiated, and by 1960 Pacific Gas and Electricity (PG&E) Utility had developed the infrastructure to support the first commercial electrical power generation at The Geysers. By the early 1970s, a partnership between PG&E and the Union Oil Company of California (UNOCAL) marked a period of growth in development activity. Twelve power plants were installed over the next 10 years. However, by the late 1990s, declining reservoir pressures from overproduction led to a dramatic decline in power generation (Sanyal and Enedy, 2011). In recent years, declining reservoir pressures have been curtailed and power production rates have been stabilized by 9PDF Image | Geothermally Well Based Compressed Air Energy Storage
