  • A multivariate statistical analysis with artificial neural networks for geothermometric studies of geothermal systems has been carried out.

  • Na, K, Mg, Ca y Li compositions of geothermal fluids were evaluated for determining their contributions in the estimation of deep equilibrium temperatures of geothermal wells.

  • log(Na/K) showed the highest contribution ranging from 69% to 75%.

  • The results obtained in this geochemometrical study will enable in the future to develop a multicomponent geothermometer for the exploration and exploitation of geothermal systems.
