The geothermal regime in sirt basin as a future substitute for of energy

Abstract EN

The geothermal regime is one of the main factors affecting the filiation and accumulation of energy and mineral resources.

The Isothermal regime in this study is presented in terms of subsurface m m\ distribution of temperatures average geothermal gradients and heat inflow across the eastern parts of Sirt Basin.

The low gradients and the * -^thick sedimentary sections provide a possible low-grade geothermal source.

A survey of petroleum exploration data has been made to i determine if aquifers exist from which hot water may be recovered.

The results showed that low enthalpy aquifers exist in the porous carbonate rocks of the Upper Sabil Member in the southeastern part of the studied area.

Water movement is inferred from formation water analysis and that the geothermal anomaly is caused by the movement of water along fault planes that has been heated at depth
