Abstract
For Tunisia, the oil crisis and the decrease in local energy resources, gave impetus to geothermal energy, for potential assessment, exploration and utilization. Research undertaken showed a country with teal potentialities either by it important deep aquifers or by the relatively high values of geothermal gradient and heat flow. It is expected that these efforts of geothermal investigation will continue in the future.
