Abstract

This chapter presents an up-to-date picture of the achievements of electromagnetic (EM) methods for geothermal exploration. EM sounding of geothermal areas provides a useful contribution to geothermal exploration and exploitation through careful data acquisition, processing, modeling, and interpretation. To take complete advantage of the potential of EM sounding of geothermal zones and distant monitoring macro-parameters of the reservoirs, fluid-filled faults, and other elements of the geothermal system, it is important to use modern 3-D modeling and inversion techniques as well as EM data interpretation methods, quantitatively taking into account prior geological information and expert estimates. Integration of EM data with rock physics data, lithology, temperatures, permeability, geological, and other geophysical information may improve the imaging of static and dynamic processes in geothermal systems.
