Would it be possible to harness the heat coming off the crater as an energy source

I wonder why no one has attempted it, perhaps the remoteness

The technology exists to just drill a few natural gas wells in the nearby area and pipe the gas to where it is needed, rather than developing a new technique to harness the energy of an already burning crater.

Worth more as a tourist attraction i expect. Disaster is entertainment and all the best tourist attractions are disasters.

“The Sidoarjo mud flow or Lapindo mud is the result of an erupting mud volcano in the subdistrict of Porong, Sidoarjo in East Java, Indonesia that has been in eruption since May 2006” earns money for locals as a tourist attraction.
