Research of Tanggu Geopressurized Formation Geothermal Field

Abstract

Through analysis and contrast of Tanggu district geologic structure, geothermal gradient characteristics, and stratum hydrostatic pressure we discover that this Paleogene System stratum area has a higher hydrostatic pressure and temperature, and has formed a geopressurized formation geothermal field condition. We present the preliminary analysis of this important stratum, and the geothermal potential of Paleogene System, Dongying Formation & Shahejie Formation. We then put forward three parts of a prospective plan and locate positions to implement this plan. This provides another way to enlarge Tanggu geothermal resource exploitation and utilize it, and could have breakthrough repercussions for this kind of geothermal resource exploitation throughout China.
