Studies to Model Deep Sand Geothermal Zones in Southern China
Author(s): Leo Dankworth*
Existing volumetric methods are often constrained by limited information when projects are in the early stages of development. The objective of this study was to estimate the potential of the geothermal field using a finetuned geological model and a 3D digital temperature model. We establish a good geological model of a geothermal field in southern China and thus compute a 3D conductive numerical temperature model. Based on comprehensive analysis and interpretation of the measured drilling and borehole data, regional variation and spatial distribution of thermal and physical properties are both incorporated into the geological model. The results show that the Neogene and Quaternary strata in the study area have an average porosity of 36% and the average thermal conductivity of rocks is 3.15 WmK−1, the Weizhou formation has porosity. with an average temperature of 29% and an aver..
