| Abstract | Often, in spite of favorable geological conditions, drilling costs stop geothermal developments. On the other hand, many oil and gas fields are surrounded by hot waters which might be utilised as geothermal resources .This paper describes the requirements to be met by oil and gas traps for such purposes, and uses as a model case that of Grobla field near Cracow. |
