Abstract
The object of this paper is to describe the project of drilling an exploratory deep well down to 6000 m, in the Cerro Prieto geothermal field, in order to re-evaluate the estimated reserves of the field and to up-date the conceptual geological model. This model relates the heat source with the hypabyssal rocks which give origin to the Nuevo Leon magnetic anomaly in Cerro Prieto, in the east zone of the field, which would help to define the feasibility of a deep geothermal development.
