Abstract
The main geothermal reservoir is located within the fractured Pre-Palaeozoic-Ordovician units. The reservoir is recharged by meteoric waters. Geothermal fluids upwell where main regional structures intersect secondary structures associated with the development of the Tocomar basin. Preliminary data indicate a reservoir temperature of ⼠200° C and a local geothermal gradient of ⼠130° C/km associated with the Quaternary volcanic activity in the Tocomar area.
