A first conversation

Prepare a geothermal site brief.

Gather the facts you have. Keep missing information visible.

A resource prospect, land access and a permitted development are separate questions. Geothermal projects can face site-specific regulatory and permitting requirements. National Laboratory of the Rockies (formerly NREL): regulatory and permitting analysis.

What can you already describe?

Check the items you can discuss. This worksheet organizes your notes; it does not score feasibility or determine rights.

Leave a clean trail.

Record the source and date of each fact. Mark whether it comes from your own information, a report or a third party. A document being available does not establish permission to publish it.

Separate land work from technical decisions.

Our Landmen LLC can discuss the land and project questions. Resource evaluation, engineering, permitting advice and definitive rights conclusions need the appropriate separately engaged professionals.

Send the essentials.

Begin with your role, a county or region and a short description. Further documents and any information sharing need a separately agreed process.
