Where different firms share the same geothermal anomalies,
the resource and their investments can be harmed. Unfortunately,
regulations have not been generated for this issue. In the oil sector,
unitization applies when oil reserve licensees pool their individual
interests in return for an interest in overall units; it is then operated
by a single company on behalf of a group, which occurs when a field
lies under different licenses with different equity interests.
Voluntary cooperation by license holders for the same anomaly or
obligatory unitization, where necessary, is, therefore, important for
sustainable production using geothermal resources; a new regulation
should be propagated to manage this issue
