Abstract:

Shandong Province possesses abundant geothermal resources with widespread distribution of geothermal reserviors of different types. However, the occurrence rules and accumulation mechanism of geothermal resources are not well understood. In this paper, based on previous geothermal well temperature logging, geothermal exploration, well drilling, pumping test and long-term dynamic monitoring data, we explain the distribution characteristics of geothermal resources in Shandong, and delineate the geological structure that controls the geothermal flow and water conduction. The heat and water sources and accumulation mechanisms and the occurrence of thermal reservoirs were explored. Four geothermal resource areas were delineated: eastern Shandong, Yishu fault zone, western Shandong uplift and northwestern Shandong depression. Combining the characteristics of major ore-controlling factors such as geothermal water source, heat source and occurrence of thermal reservoir, the geothermal systems were divided into three models: open-convection-cavity tubular; weakly open-convection/conduction-banded stratified; and closed-convection/conduction-banded stratified. Insights on the heat/water sources and accumulation mechanisms under different types of geothermal systems and the occurrence law of hydrothermal accumulated reservoirs provide a basis for targeted geothermal exploration and well drilling.
