Geothermal Exploration Methods

A geothermal reservoir causes inhomogeneity in the physical properties of the subsurface geology due to the high changes in temperature. These physical properties can be ob‐ served by means of varying anomalies from geophysical observations from the surface. These physical properties include electrical conductivity, rock density, magnetic suscepti‐ bility, rock elasticity, and, finally, the tem...

Application of Geochemical Methods in Geothermal Exploration

Subsurface waters have been classified into meteoric water, ocean water, evolved connate water, magmatic water and juvenile water. Geothermal water is mostly meteoric and oceanic water although andesitic waters near subduction areas often contain significant proportions of evolved connate and magmatic waters. Geothermal waters have been classified with respect to their anion and cation contents...

Geothermal Energy and Earthquakes in Western Himalayas

It is well corroborated that the earth is relentlessly bubbling inside since its birth and traversing continuously through a geological change. The source of this dynamism is the heat stored inside i.e. the geothermal energy, which is believed to be the product of mainly the decay of natural radio-isotopes in the crust and mantle, and in the core of earth. This heat exerts pressure towards the ...

Magnetotelluric Method Applied for Exploration of Geothermal Resources in Sumatra

Pertamina has conducted geothermal exploration in Sumatra showing that the depths to the top of most of the geothermal reservoirs are about 1000-2000 meters. Previous geophysical exploration work by Pertamina emphasized the use of DC-resistivity methods such as the Schlumberger method. However, these techmques can typically only penetrate to a depth of less than 1000 meters and are too shallow ...
