Abstract
This decision modeling project utilizes multiattribute utility theory to capture both the economic and non economic criteria potential geopressured geothermal rescue developers utilize to reach a decision to participate, or not, in a venture such as geopressued geothermal development. Knowledge from this work will be utilized in conjunction with a geopressured geothermal economic model to determine effects on various incentive schemes proposed to expedite the development of the geopressured geothermal resource along the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast. This study is a portion of an ongoing DOE sponsored geopressured geothermal research program at the Center for Energy Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.
