6 Larderello Travale Geothermal Area
7 Features of The Geothermal System High amplitude reflectors Granite (age 0.7 to 3.8 m.y.)
8 GRANITE CAN BE A RESERVOIR Cataclastic granite with hydrothermal alteration Core sample of 3570 m depth
9 Seismic Data
10 Deep Reservoir (3-3.5 km depth) producing super-heated steam Sea level
11 TEMPERATURE vs. DEPTH Sea level
12 Same Fluid from the Shallow and Deep Reservoir Rocks The composition of the geothermal fluid is remarkably constant: isotopic imprint characteristic of a meteoric origin, same gas/steam ratio (5wt% of gas, mostly CO 2 ) in all drillholes and different reservoir composition (from Mesozoic dolostone to granite). This almost constant composition of the fluid, over a drilled area of approximately 400 km 2, supports the hypothesis of the presence of a giant reservoir. Rock permeability is due to fracturing.

14 Structural Setting 1
15 Structural Setting 2
16 Contact Metamorphism At Larderello the deepest geologic units (approximately 4 km depth) consist of granite and metamorphic rocks Evidence of hydrothermal alteration in granite and wall rocks indicates fluid circulation at high temperature and pressures
17 a)-b) garnet micaschist c) amphibolite a d) Hydrothermal K-feldspar and epidote b c e) quartztourmaline vein e
18 CONTACT METAMORPHIC AUREOLE Pressure conditions at the top of the granite: MPa, defined by the presence of late-alpine andalusite, biotite and cordierite at km depth and an uplift rate of 0.2 mm/y Temperature conditions from 400 to more than 600 C, on the basis of mineral assemblages

22 P-T Fluid Evolution
23 CONCLUSIONS The fluid evolved from early magmaticmetamorphic conditions to a late-stage hydrothermal circulation characterised by fluid of meteoric origin (H horizon). A deep-seated fluid, with magmatic to metamorphic connotations and supercritical characteristics likely exists within the K horizon.

34 Future research work? Prediction of the duration of the geothermal resource, and the extension at depth of the reservoir, are the most challenging scientific goals. It is important to characterise the deepest geological units and understand if fluid exists in rocks near a quasi-plastic state, and can be exploited.
35 High strain rate values (10-12 sec -1 ) for the geothermal areas, Fournier (1991). Such high values can derive from: 1) emplacement of shallow magmatic intrusions, Mt Amiata, Acocella, 2000); 2) fluid overpressures within pre-existing fractures and faults, whose orientation is favorable for their reopening (Gianelli, 1994)
36 At approximately 100 MPa and C (the conditions of the K-horizon at Larderello), the fluid is a L+V saline brine or a supercritical fluid, depending on salinity
37 CONCLUSIONS Laboratory experiments (Hashida et al., 2001; Tsuchiya et al., 2001) show that, at approximately MPa at C, granite can still permit the circulation of a supercritical fluid through unhealed microfractures. The main problem is to understand the mechanical behaviour of the rocks at the high temperatures in correspondence of the deep seismic reflector (K). Geophysical data are so far supported by relatively scarce geological data. Collection and analysis of more core samples is necessary to assess the deep-seated, possibly supercritical, geothermal resource.
