Abstract
Advanced geophysical and geochemical techniques are applied to the Auachapan (EL Salvador), Mount Endut and Weh Island (Indonesia) geothermal areas to study the evolution of the geothermal reservoir and to assess the potential of the available geothermal resources. Auachapan shows changes in the fluids chemistry after 30 years of exploitation due to dilution and boiling processes. Mount Endut is characterized by a porous and permeable system with temperatures reaching 180°C. Weh Island exhibits several geothermal surface manifestations and requires further geophysical and geochemical surveys for the quantitative assessment of the geothermal potential.
