Application of Comprehensive Geophysical Prospecting Method to Geothermal Resource Exploration in Yiliang County, Kunming

摘要

The earth is a huge heat reservoir and contains amounts of heat. The geothermal internal heat is about 50000 times more than the energy in the oil and gas resources. In order to investigate the occurrence and formation of geothermal resources in Yiliang basin, several methods, such as electrical sounding, Very low frequency electromagnetic method, and Electrostatic α-card method are applied in the exploration area. The geothermal resource survey of the Yiliang basin has been carried out. Based on the above results, two investigation wells have been designed at the location of favorable geological conditions in the exploration area. The application of multiple geophysical prospecting methods obtains preferable effort in geothermal exploration and provides meaningful reference for the area with lower level of the geothermal survey work.
