Characterizing favourable structural settings of geothermal reservoirs in extensional regions: Enhanced exploration strategies

Exploration of geothermal systems is commonly hampered by the risk of unsuccessful drilling. A major problem in selecting well sites is that the favorable settings of known systems are generally not adequately characterized. This is particularly important in amagmatic regions, wh...
