An important factor in a geothermal assessment is the assessment of the volume of the geothermal system in question. For the volumetric method, we assume, for simplicity, that the volume is a box, with a surface area in the xy plane and thickness z1-z0 along the z-axis. This work presents a comprehensive review of the theoretical background and methodology used in volumetric assessment. The volumetric method using the Monte Carlo simulation was applied to estimate the geothermal power potential of the Sabalan geothermal field given three scenarios of 25, 50 and 100 years duration.
