Basing on the results of magnetotelluric sounding, carried out earlier in the geothermal area under examination and developed 2D-models of electrical resistivity, porosity, permeability, temperature, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity, an integrated cluster analysis of sections of enumerated parameters is fulfilled .
Combined cluster analysis enabled to detect two subsurface areas promising for drilling exploratory boreholes. One of them coincides with already developed geothermal reservoir, while another one is located at depths 2-3km in another part of the section and may be of great interest for future exploration.
