Springerville volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field located in east-central Arizona between Springerville and Show Low. The field consists of 405 discrete vents[3] covering approximately 3,000 square kilometers (1,200 sq mi)[2] and is the third-largest such field in the continental United States;[4] only the San Francisco volcanic field and Medicine Lake volcanic field are larger.[5] The total erupted volume is estimated at 90 cubic kilometers (22 cu mi).[6]
The field is located towards the western end of the Jemez Lineament.[7]

Economic resources
[edit | edit source]The St. Johns carbon dioxide reservoir is located in the northwest part of the Springerville volcanic field and has estimated reserves of 445 billion cubic meters. Effort since the mid-1990s to either extract helium from the reservoir or to ship carbon dioxide to the Permian Basinc for enhanced oil recovery have not come to fruition. A more recent US Department of Energy proposal is to use carbon dioxide from the reservoir as a heat exchange fluid for extraction of geothermal energy from the volcanic field.[6]
