In conjunction with the Geothermal Favourability Map of Alberta, this web portal has been established to host a publicly accessible Canadian National Geothermal Database (CNGD).

The format of the web portal is designed to be user-friendly and flexible, allowing data to be retrieved as multiple different file types, including detailed spreadsheets and Google Earth maps and data. These files contain specific geological, geophysical, environmental and/or other criteria useful in assessing and identifying geothermal resource potential.

Similar to the U.S. National Geothermal Database (NGDS), the CNGD stores critical geothermal site attribute information including: temperature at depth, thermal conductivity, heat flow, well logs, bottom hole temperatures (BHT), drill stem test (DST), permafrost data, seismicity/microseismicity, porosity/permeability data, water chemistry, and geophysical surveys. It will also be inclusive of all types of geothermal resources such as direct-use, hydrothermal, hot sedimentary aquifer, geopressured, Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), geothermal fluids co-produced with oil and/or gas, and others.
