Purpose. The results of application of mobile direct-prospecting technology of frequency-resonance processing and interpretation of satellite images and photographs of sites of geothermal power plants (Kenya, Iceland, Philippines, Kamchatka), geysers and kimberlite pipes, as well as areas of hydrogen and methane migration into the atmosphere are presented. Experimental reconnaissance studies were carried out to study the features of the deep structure of areas, the geothermal resources of which are already being used and may be used in the future.

Design/methodology/approach. The developed mobile and low-cost technology includes modified methods of frequency-resonance processing and decoding of satellite images and photo images, vertical electric-resonance sounding (scanning) of a cross-section, as well as a method of integrated assessment of the prospects of oil and gas potential of large prospecting blocks and license areas. Separate methods of this direct-prospecting technology are based on the principles of the “substance” paradigm of geophysical research, the essence of which is to search for a specific substance – oil, gas, gas condensate, gold, zinc, etc.

Findings. During frequency-resonance processing of photographs in all surveyed areas, responses were recorded at the frequencies of phosphorus, hydrogen, living water and basalts. Instrumental measurements showed that the synthesis of living water occurs on the surface (depth) of 57 km. Outside of the geothermal sources location, in areas of longevity and in areas of hydrogen degassing including, the synthesis of living water is carried out on the surface of 68 km. In the cross-sections of the surveyed areas, basalts and gabbros are located in the upper part, within an interval of up to 99 km. Under the basalts, at depths of 99—218 km, there are sedimentary rocks of the 8th group (dolomites), and even lower, in the interval 218—723 km, there are sedimentary (siliceous) rocks of the 10th group. In the upper part of cross-section, above the basalts, there are sedimentary rocks of the 7th group (limestones). In areas of active geysers are location, facts of hydrogen migration into the atmosphere have been recorded. Living water at the synthesis boundary of 57 km, as well as in basalts, is characterized by high negative values of the redox potential (ORP).

Design/methodology/approach.The features (of the same type) of the geological structure, established by instrumental measurements at ten local sites of experimental work in different regions of the world, can be used as search signs, when conducting reconnaissance and detailed exploration work in order to detect and localize accumulations of geothermal water within poorly studied areas and sites. The application of the methodology of integral assessment of the prospects for oil and gas content, ore content, water content of large blocks and local areas at the initial stages of prospecting and exploration work provides an opportunity to significantly accelerate and optimize the exploration process for various types of minerals.

Keywords: geothermal energy, power plant, geyser, hydrogen, basalts, dolomites, kimberlites, diamonds, living water, abiogenic genesis, volcano, direct exploration, deep structure, oil, gas, chemical elements, sounding of the cross-section, remote sensing data processing.
