We present a value of information analysis for MT data for locating high steam flow regions of a geothermal resource, using data collected from Darajat. Darajat geothermal field has an electrically conductive, smectite clay cap that is indicative of the boundaries of the resources. We demonstrate how these VOI evaluations can be used to guide future drilling locations.
