Idaho Collocated Resources
Dansart, et al. (1994) have compiled a database of 1,537 thermal wells and springs, a 71%
increase over entries reported in 1980 and 54 resource areas are described. Geothermal resource
areas occur throughout the state, except the northernmost panhandle. The geologic setting of the
hydrothermal occurrences varies greatly, including fault and fracture-controlled resources of the
Idaho batholith, fault-controlled reservoirs of the northern Basin and Range Province, the Island
Park-Yellowstone caldera complex, and the extensive volcanic reservoirs of the Snake River
Plain. Dansart, et al. (1994) recommended site-specific studies for nine geothermal resource
areas, conceptual and numerical models (2 areas), geologic, geophysical, drilling and feasibility
studies (7 areas).
