Abstract

Anomalous areas of Heat Flow Density in Uzbekistan were identified at the stage of preliminary studies on the territory of the Republic. A Multidisciplinary Geophysical surveys (Seismic, Magneto telluric and Gravity exploration) now being implemented on the studied areas in Central Kyzylkum, Gissar and Aral regions. The goal of the development of geothermal resources are as follows: (1) develop a conceptual model to characterize the geology, geophysics and thermodynamics of resources; (2) develop, using this model, a cost-effective strategy for continuing exploration, delineating and evaluating a resource that provide depth and quality data necessary for making decisions regarding plans for the further development of promising geothermal areas in Uzbekistan. The results of geophysical studies, used in combination with geological data, allowed the construction of three-dimensional depth models of the structure of the studied areas with the location of the heat source and provide targets for test (exploration) drilling.
