Abstract
Three geothermal fields were identified in Asal geothermal field. Based on USGS volumetric estimation method together with Monte Carlo simulations is used to provide estimates of the probable power potential capacity of the geothermal system. The estimated power generation potential of all Asal high-temperature hydrothermal systems is between 115 and 329 MWe for a 25-year exploitation period.
