The six geological regions of the NWT were ranked from 1 to 5. The Cordilleran Orogen was ranked 5. The WCSB and the Mackenzie Delta/Beaufort Area, Arctic Continental Shelf, Innuition Orogen and Arctic Platform were ranked 3. The Canadian Shield was ranked 1. Section 4 of the report provides a discussion of the geothermal potential of the geology regions. [...] This project is intended to present a compilation of existing information and data with respect to the geothermal potential in the NWT and the interpretation of these data to assess the favourability of geothermal development. [...] SCOPE OF SERVICES The scope of services for this project included: • Compilation of existing information related to the geothermal energy potential in the NWT; • Analysis of these data with respect to the feasibility of geothermal resource development in the NWT; • Presentation of the results of this project as a NWT geothermal favourability map, which identifies areas of geothermal potential in g [...] The techniques require active survey methods, whereby the strength and configuration of the source determines the depth and resolution of the survey. [...] The overall geothermal favourability score, i.e., the sum of the geothermal favourability scores for each evidence layer, determines the geothermal favourability of the cell and is shown on the geothermal favourability map.
