Abstract
In the last five years growing interest in low enthalpy and medium size geothermal prospects in Mexico increased the institutional support for thermal methods research. The Comision Federal de Electricidad (CFE) decided to analyze temperature data taken during drilling stops in boreholes of well known geothermal zones, to analyze the order of magnitude and characteristics of thermal conditions at different locations, relative to the faults acting as heat and mass flow channels, with the goal to define interpretative criteria for the study of less known areas.
