Course Title: Geothermal Systems Models and Exploration Strategies
Lecturer：Suryantini
Course outline: In a geothermal exploration, drilling is the high risk ultimate program to confirm the resource. The best drilling target during exploration stage is often based on a reliable geothermal conceptual model. In most cases the early model is constructed from surface geoscience studies such as lithology, structural geology, hydrothermal alteration, type, fluid chemistry and spatial distribution of surface thermal manifestation and geophysical data. A good and reliable conceptual model become crucial for well targeting at the early stage of exploration. Such model also becomes the basis for planning exploration strategy. In this course, emphasis is placed on integration of geological (lithology and volcanology, structural geology,) geochemical (spatial distribution of surface thermal manifestation and the fluid chemistry) and (limited) geophysical data for developing geothermal conceptual models, and its implication on exploration strategy and drilling target. The course will include but not be limited to:
1.Overview of geothermal systems models and the surface thermal manifestations.
2.Spatial distribution of surface thermal manifestation and fluid chemistry in relation with components of a geothermal system
3.Geology, structural geology and volcanology (and geophysical) characteristics of geothermal systems.
4.Exploration strategy (GGG) and the targets.
5.Well targeting.
