The U.S. Department of Energy-funded Hawaii Play Fairway project has progressed over 3 phases. Now in Phase 3, the project aims to deepen one or two existing wells on Lanai Island in addition to continue geophysics and groundwater exploration activities in key areas around the state. In Phase 1 of the project,,existing geologic, groundwater, and geophysical datasets relevant to subsurface heat, fluid and permeability were identified, compiled, and ranked. A statistical methodology to integrate these data into a resource probability map was developed. Phase 2 of the project involved the collection of new groundwater data in 10 locations across the state, and new geophysical data on Lanai, Maui, and central Hawaii Island, as well as modeling of topographically induced stress - the last to better characterize permeability. Here, we succinctly present results of the Phase 1 and 2 activities, and detail Phase 3 progress.
