The U.S Army Corps of Engineers has published a Request for Proposals for the drilling, monitoring, and testing of a geothermal test well within the grounds of the F.E. Warren Air Force Base (AFB) in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

The necessary documents can be accessed via the official RFP page. The closing date for bids is currently set at 12 October 2024. However, there is a plan to amend this due date to extend by at least two weeks. The due date on the official RFP page will thus be updated.

The F. E. Warren Geothermal Generation Project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at exploring and characterizing the presence and productivity of geothermal resources at F. E. Warren AFB, east of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The project involves drilling a geothermal well to measure the thickness and test the properties of the Hartville Formation and the underlying formations, such as the Guernsey, Flathead, and Pre-Cambrian Formations.

The drilling is planned to reach a maximum measured depth of 14,000 feet. The conceptual design of the well aims to comprehensively measure the temperature, pressure, and productivity of the formations, with a particular focus on the Hartville Formation.

The project execution envisions an integrated approach, with the contractor drilling and completing the well as illustrated in RFP documents. The project will also require well testing to evaluate critical resource parameters such as formation temperature, pressure, and productivity, along with evaluating reservoir fluid composition.
