Abstract
One of the most potential geothermal resources that was found very early and extensively studied by the international geothermics and domestic geologists so far is Hoi Van hot spring in Central Vietnam. The recent studies have shown that the Hoi Van geothermal resource is not related to the volcanic or young magmatic activities in the region. A geologic and geochemical investigation on this geothermal prospect has been carried out in 2010. The result of thermal fluids study concludes that the deep temperatures of the thermal fluid of Hoi Van is about 140-145oC and is can be explored further for developing the electric generation.
