The exploration and evaluation activities in Azerbaijan
indicate a high potential for geothermal development.
Use of thermal waters for greenhouse heating in
the Lenkoran region, Kuraside zone (Djarly, Muradkhanly,
Sor-Sor), Gandja, and Yalama-Khudat regions are
found to be promising. The production capacity of
the Lenkoran, Massaly, and Astara regions is estimated
to be about 25,000 m3 day. Wells have produced waters
with wellhead temperatures of 40?C and rates of
40 l/s.
Geothermal resources of Azerbaijan are represented
by thermal water of low and middle temperature (35-650C).
The thermal water is extracted from natural sources.
There is no data on overall used thermal power.
The reserves of thermal water were discovered and
partially studied with exploration drilling for
oil and gas.
