USA, Alaska: Call for Applications for Geothermal Exploration near Mount Spurr Volcano

Alaska inviting geothermal exploration (News Release)

Deadline for applications: 21 March, 2019

Following a request for the nomination of land for interest in geothermal exploration, the Alaska Department of Natural Resources’ Division of Oil and Gas is calling for applications for exploration near Mount Spurr volcano on the west side of Cook Inlet.

This call for applications will initiate the process to allow exploration for geothermal resources, which could result in a disposal, by either a geothermal prospecting permit or a geothermal lease. This call for applications does not constitute a final decision by the commissioner to dispose of the geothermal interest in state land; rather any disposal of geothermal resources will be preceded by a determination under AS 38.05.035(e) that the disposal is in the best interest of the state.
