Abstract
The number of deep geothermal wells drilled in 1973 through 1980 are analyzed in this paper. The rate of drilling was constant from 1973 through 1978, but appears to have increased starting in 1979. The increase has occurred mainly at the Geysers and at exploratory locations outside of California.
