The Utah Geological Survey compiled a preliminary database consisting of over 800 records on thermal wells and springs in Utah with temperatures of 20°C or greater. Each record consists of 35 fields including location of the well or spring, temperature, depth, flow-rate, and chemical analyses of water samples. Developed for applications on personal computers, the database will be useful for geochemical, statistical, and other geothermal related studies. A preliminary map of thermal wells and springs in Utah, which accompanies the database, could eventually incorporate heat-flow information, bottom-hole temperatures from oil and gas wells, traces of Quaternary faults, and locations of young volcanic centers. Review of literature for the compilation revealed several areas for future exploration and development interest. These areas include the southern Sevier Desert, where evidence suggests the possibility of an undiscovered moderate to high-temperature system, and the eastern Escalante Desert, where high near-surface temperatures indicate a concealed geothermal system. Other direct-use opportunities for low temperature geothermal resources are apparent within populated areas along the Wasatch Front
