Researchers from India ’s Birla Institute of Technology and Science said the Puga geothermal field in the Ladakh region had the highest geothermal energy potential among several areas from which they analysed micro - hydro - geological data . The researchers assessed each region ’s Energy Data Base , which is information showing the potential extraction temperature for the typical 20-year lifetime of a geothermal source . Researchers used thermo-hydro-geological data to conceptualize geothermal reservoirs and then used simulation software to assess a key parameter called ‘Useful Resource Base’ of reservoirs. India has been researching geothermal energy since 1973 but until now lacked information about energy potential .
