| Abstract | The area surrounding Madrid City constitutes one of the most favourable medium-low temperature geothermal environments identified to date in Spain. Madrid Basin geothermal potential was discovered in 1980 when an oil well drilled by Shell demonstrated temperatures of 88 ºC and 150 ºC at 1,700 m and 3,400 m depth respectively. Petratherm EspaZa applied in 2006 for a geothermal exploration license of 290 km2 over the most prospective areas. The tenement was awarded in November 2007. |
