Rasers Geological Report in Utah Identifies Three Drilling Targets

Raser Technologies, Inc. announced that an independent geological study has identified three target drilling areas located on portions of Raser’s leased properties in Southern Utah. The geologists judge the sites to be suitable for developing geothermal power plants for the production of clean, renewable electric power.

The identified sites are believed by the geologists to hold sufficient geothermal resources to support 80 to 165 megawatts of electric power generating capacity, enough to power approximately 100,000 homes. In completing the study, the geologists conducted on-site geological assessments and analyzed geological maps and models, satellite photography, well logs, temperature and chemical analyses of existing hot springs and mineral mining activity. In the regions encompassed by the study, there are several known hot springs, warm springs, seeps and wells.

Brent Cook, Raser’s CEO, stated, “The geothermal resources at these sites appear to have temperatures and other characteristics that fit very nicely into our strategy to build clean, renewable electric power plants using advanced binary cycle technology. The geologists have validated our beliefs about these Southern Utah sites. We look forward to developing these sites as part of our goal to initiate the development of approximately 100 megawatts of power generating capacity per year for the first three years and 150 megawatts per year thereafter.”

The advanced binary cycle technology that Raser intends to employ in the development of geothermal power plants uses water-based geothermal resources of generally lower temperature, ranging from approximately 200 to 360 degrees F. In the advanced binary system, warm geothermal fluid is pumped to the surface and channeled into a heat exchanger. The geothermal water is then used as a source to heat another “working fluid,” which then vaporizes to turn a turbine generator. After the heat transfer process is complete, the cooler water is returned to the reservoir in the Earth. The advanced binary method efficiently converts more commonly found low temperature water resources into power through the use of working fluids that have a low boiling point; the binary method also produces zero emissions. If properly managed, a geothermal resource is sustainable and renewable.
