| Abstract | The Magmatic, Mantel and Radiogenic (MMRTM) Gas exploration technique was developed to explore blind geothermal plays and to assist in finding specific locations for exploration drilling and surface geophysics. A Geothermal Play is defined as an accumulation of heat energy within the earth?s crust. It can apply to heat contained in rock and /or fluid. It has no connotations as to permeability or the recoverability of the energy, although it implies an intention to investigate those parameters. A Geothermal Play does not necessarily imply the existence of a geothermal resource or reserve and quantitative amounts of energy must not be reported against it (Australian Geothermal Code 2nd ed., 2010). |
