3 Geothermal developments in Shandong

4 Problems of geothermal resource development Water level decline and temperature changes 0.00 Beijing Shandong Water level depth(m) 2.1/ / / / / / / Water level Temperature Temperature( ) Low to medium temperature: < 150 Over extraction has occurred and induced some corresponding environmental issues, including continuous water level decline, colder water intrusion, temperature drop, etc. Main reasons for issues: Reservoir recharge, runoff and discharge conditions are not clear enough Lack of reinjection or rapid reinjection rate decline Previous calculations of geothermal fields production potential were not based on the restrictions set by water level and temperature drawdown

5 Objectives of study Classification of reservoirs based on renewability Beijing Shandong Ⅲ Heze Reservoir Hebei Dezhou Urban Reservoir Ⅱ Semi-Open Reservoir Ⅲ ClosedReservoir Ⅰ Jiangsu Bohai Sea Ⅰ 0 50km Wenshitang Reservoir Yellow Sea Yellow Sea My study focus on solving these problems and preventing new issues occurring: Build up a classification based on reservoirs renewability Study factors influencing renewability and sustainable utilization Use case studies to show how to assess sustainable yield

6 Materials and Methodology (1) Regional geological and hydrogeological survey (2) Hydro chemical and isotope sampling and analysis of geothermal water (3) Pumping test, reinjection and tracer test (4) Measuring geothermal water level, temperature and quality, together with production rates (5) To understand recharge, runoff and discharge conditions through hydrogeological survey, hydro chemical and isotope analysis, as well as regimes observation and pumping test (6) To find out the potential risk of cooling and clogging of long term reinjection through reinjection and tracer tests and long term monitoring of temperature, water level and chemistry (7) To determine the factors influent sustainability quantitively, and then to evaluate the reservoir s open degree as open, semi open and closed (8) Modeling for sustainable yield and optimize production for Open, Semi open and Closed reservoirs

9 Research area background Distribution of geothermal fields Heat Flow map of Shandong Province (mw/m2 Partial data from JIANG G Z, et al Geothermal fields distribution in Shandong Provience 16 hot springs mainly distributed in Shandong Peninsula, with temperatures ranging from 50 to 100 Ԩ. More than 150 geothermal wells have been successfully drilled in Shandong Province, with temperatures between 40 and 100 Ԩ

10 General reservoir characteristics Open reservoir N Hot spring Terrestrial heat flow NW (water-transfer fault) NE (heat-transfer fault) 10km Controlled by: Neotectonic large and deep faults Convective heat flow Main aquifers: Granite and metamorphic rocks Manifestations: Geothermal springs ( o C) Distribution: Shandong Peninsula Ground water age: Most less than 1000a, some can be around 10000a

11 Results

12 Why? Chemical characteristics of geothermal fluids Understanding of the mechanism of reservoir formation, including origin of water, mixing processes, runoff and discharge conditions is not clear enough Reservoir temperatures assumed before are not very credible Water rock interaction processes are mostly ignored in previous studies

13 Chemical characteristics of geothermal fluids Open reservoirs- Jiaodong Peninsula SO Cl - Ca 2+ + Mg 2+ EXPLANATION hot spring surface water Colder ground water Mixed geothermal water Sea water Mg 2+ Na + + K + CO HCO 3 - SO 4 2- Ca 2+ Cl - Strata: intrusive rocks, metamorphic rocks, cretaceous sediments, volcanic accumulation and loose deposits of the Quaternary period So far, 16 hot springs were found, all flow out in points formed at the cross positions of the structures The strikes of faults that controlled the formation of hot springs occur in four types: NE, NW, NNE and NNW

14 Chemical characteristics of geothermal fluids Origin of geothermal water Concentration counter map of Cl in geothermal water, Jiaodong Peninsula Variation of B with Cl (in ppm) in surface water, geothermal water and mixed shallow colder water

15 Chemical characteristics of geothermal fluids Origin of geothermal water Open reservoirs mainly recharged by modern atmospheric precipitation mixed with seawater or shallow groundwater Controlled by deep faults with NNE strike and the distributions of Mesozoic intrusive rocks

16 Chemical characteristics of geothermal fluids Mixing of shallow water and secondary minerals formed Mg Variation of SO 4 2 with Cl (in ppm) in surface water, geothermal water and mixed shallow colder water Variation of Mg with Cl (in ppm) in surface water, geothermal water and mixed shallow colder water
