Abstract
This paper reports results of an artesian flow test of a 1000 foot deep well (USP/TH-1). The testing program was designed to provide necessary data for estimating the long term production potential of the geothermal resource. Based on results of a 72 hour flow test, it was concluded that the state owned portion of the Crystal Hot Springs resource is potentially capable of supplying sufficient energy to provide space and hot water heating of the minimum security portion of the Utah State Prison. However, development of the resource will have to be carefully managed to prevent premature depletion of the reservoir.
