Geothermal energy from Penticton Tertiary outlier, British Columbia: an initial assessment

Abstract: Tertiary basins in south-central British Columbia may be economic sources of hot water for space heating. The heat flow, 72 mW m-' for the Penticton Tertiary outlier, and the insulating layers of volcanic sediments produce particularly high temperatures within this basin. Underneath White Lake, the temperature at the bottom of a spectacular thickness of sediments may be 90°C. The measured porosity, approximately 5%, and the water flows observed in boreholes indicate ample fluid and apparent permeability to ext… Show more
