OVERVIEW
 INTRODUCTION
 From the energy point of view India requires huge thrust in exploration and
exploitation in field of geothermal resources.
 Among all the surveys known, Geophysical survey is the most important
survey for understanding subsurface sweet spots.
 INTRODUCTION
• It is found that most of the methods for geothermal exploration were based
on the parameters which are directly influenced by the activities like self-
potential, geophysical well logs, geochemistry and electrical methods.
• The physical parameters of the host rock are explored by the various
geophysical techniques like Gravity, Magnetic, Seismic, Magnetotelluric
and Electrical Resistivity surveys etc
 INTRODUCTION
• The interpretation of the survey data provides structural size of the
geothermal bodies as well as the hot fluid content.
• In many regions of the world the geothermal energy is present in forms of
steam and hot water which is used for the purpose of electricity generation,
space heating and cooling etc.
