Non-distribution contract required

The Salton Trough/Imperial Valley Geothermal Database package is designed to save companies the time and expense of having to compile a diverse set of data into one coherent digital database for use with geologic software such as Geographix, Petra, Petrel, and others. It has been compiled by geoscientists with extensive knowledge of the geology of the state of California as well as decades of experience in subsurface geology and modeling for extractive industries. This unique package will allow companies and technical staff to immediately start their own evaluation of the study area, with a quality-checked database providing a comprehensive inventory of publicly available information.

Note: Database does not include information for development projects of resources on federal lands, which, to date, is not publicly available (East Mesa Geothermal Field).
