Abstract

This Chapter of the Nevada Revised Statutes concerns geothermal resources. The Chapter defines geothermal resource as the natural heat of the earth and the energy associated with that natural heat, pressure and all dissolved or entrained minerals that may be obtained from the medium used to transfer that heat, but excluding hydrocarbons and helium. Specifically, the Chapter provides for exploration and subsurface information: filing with Division of Minerals of Commission on Mineral Resources; applicability of procedures for appropriation; ownership of geothermal resources; permit required to drill or operate geothermal well or drill exploratory well, and its application; approval or rejection of application for permit to drill exploratory well, and review of application for permit to drill or operate geothermal well; fees, and use of money; and regulations of Commission on Mineral Resources.
