Geothermal Conditions of the L?dz Synclinorium Early Creataceus Reservoir

Abstract

The Early Creataceus aquifer is a large sedimentary structure in the Great Poland depression. L?dz Synclinorium is located in the center of this structure, where many boreholes have been drilled during long period for geological research as prospecting wells. Geothermal water has been found by the way of potential hydrocarbon level testing. Some towns which are located in this area might be consumer of produced geothermal energy for space heating and recreation purposes. Among them is the second biggest polish city L?dz, with over 800 thousand inhabitants. Moreover, one geothermal plant in this area operates since 2000. In this work main reservoir properties were analyzed and perspective areas were indicated.
