The exploration of deep geothermal field usually use resistivity method, seismic methods or other geophysical inversion methods to look for possible fracture zones. During this process, geological and well logging documents are analyzed to evaluate the presence of thermal water in these structures, in order to define the exact location of wells. However, it is extremely difficult to predict temperatures of both deep thermal water and logging well water, due to the deficiency of former quantitative analyses. Therefore, the resistivity inversion method is tried, in this paper, to predict the water temperature in those underground thermal storing structures and logging wells, aiming to make the exploration of geothermal resources more effective.
