This is the mafic rock layer used in the development of the Oregon Cascades heat composite risk segment used for play fairway analysis. Mafic erruptive centers, taken from the USGS Oregon state geologic map, were buffered at 2km and then rasterized. Values of 1 indicate the presence of mafic extrusive areas and values of 0 indicate no mafic extrusive areas. Extensive flows are not mapped.

This is the Quaternary felsic rock layer used in the development of the Oregon Cascades heat composite risk segment used for play fairway analysis. Felsic erruptive centers, taken from the USGS Oregon state geologic map, were buffered at 2km and then rasterized. Values of 1 indicate the presence of felsic eruptive areas and values of 0 indicate no felsic eruptive areas. Extensive flows are not mapped

Felsic Rocks.zip

This is the heat composite risk segment (CRS) used for play fairway analysis in the Oregon Cascades. This CRS was created using probability kriging statistical surfaces representing (1) Quaternary felsic intrusive and extrusive rock with a weighting of 0.24; (2) Quaternary mafic extrusive rock with a weighting of 0.06; (3) heat flow with a weighting of 0.15; and (4) magnetotelluric conductors with a weighting of 0.55. These data were integrated using the Weighted Sums method in ArcGIS. This dataset has been normalized with a range of 0-1.

Heat Composite Risk Segment.zip

This is the permeability composite risk segment (CRS) used for play fairway analysis in the Oregon Cascades. CRS was created using probability kriging statistical surfaces representing (1) Quaternary fault density with a weighting of 0.65; (2) Magnetotelluric conductors with a weighting of 0.35. These data were integrated using the Weighted Sums method in ArcGIS. This dataset has been normalized with a range of 0-1.

Permeability Composite Risk Segment.zip

This is a final geothermal play fairway analysis model of the Oregon Cascades. It was created using a heat compostite risk segment with a weighting of 0.65 and a permeability composite risk segment with a weighting of 0.35. Data integration was done using the ArcGIS Weighted Sum method. This dataset has been normalized to a range of 0-1.
