Abstract

Summary

Geothermal exploration is evolving towards a more quantitative evaluation of the reconnaissance and advance exploration surveys. Geothermal plays and geothermal play fairway concepts play a key role in the new data integration methods. Traditional knowledge-based methods are being displaced by data-driven methods using advanced statistical techniques and introducing machine learning in the resource evaluation process. This evolution of data processing has allowed the discovery of blind geothermal systems and the regional evaluation of geothermal resources increasing the reliability of the results.
