IGSHPA at Oklahoma State University has a large stock of the most relevant books on the subject of GSHP that you could ever need.
They are for sale and they aren't cheap, but some of our EcoRenovators have been able to snag copies for a song.
The relevant books would have tables and formulas for just about any situation imaginable.

I don't live in CO, I live in OR, Western OR. Around here, a 225 ft deep bore hole is expected to yield a Ton of heating. Where you are, I just don't have a clue.
A bore hole is a cylinder of earth going straight down and having a thermal radius of 16-ish feet (it tapers off continuously as you go farther from the center).
So what kind of cylinder will you have?
A lot of variables at play... your earth will be warmed (some).
Do you live on a hill? Shouldn't be much problem with water migration there.
Do you live on a hill side? Pretty certain there would be migration in that case, unless it is very arid.
There was an Irish guy that did something similar, on the forum... What happened to his post(s)?
