The target selection and quantitative evaluation for deep geothermal resource zoning of typical geothermal fields in central Hebei of North China plain

With the rapid economic development in North China, the demand for geothermal energy is increasing. It is urgent to find favorable deep geothermal resource targets in North China. Although geothermal resources in the North China Plain are widely distributed, in order to develop deep geothermal resou...

description With the rapid economic development in North China, the demand for geothermal energy is increasing. It is urgent to find favorable deep geothermal resource targets in North China. Although geothermal resources in the North China Plain are widely distributed, in order to develop deep geothermal resources in North China safely, stably and efficiently, it is essential to carry out the target selection and evaluation of geothermal resource zoning. This article takes the typical geothermal fields in the central Hebei region as the research object, and through the comprehensive collation of regional geothermal geological data, constructs an optimization evaluation indicator system for geothermal resource target areas from three aspects: resource conditions, mining potential, and heating demand. On this basis, it establishes a linear relationship between the attribute values and scores of each indicator, and uses the analytic hierarchy process to assign weights to each indicator and calculate the comprehensive weight. Then, the comprehensive evaluation value is obtained by weighted calculation of the scores and comprehensive weights of each block in the grid segmentation of the evaluation area. Finally, through the spatial analysis function of GIS, the comprehensive evaluation values of all blocks in the evaluation area were analyzed using kriging difference analysis, and a comprehensive evaluation map, the geothermal resource prospective target area map, was finally obtained. Using quantitative zoning evaluation methods, the target areas for exploration and development of deep geothermal resources in central Hebei Province have been delineated within a large region. The evaluation results indicate that the Cambrian-Ordovician reservoir target area is relatively large, and there are many favorable target areas with good reservoir conditions in the Middle-Upper Proterozoic. The excellent prospective target area of the Mesoproterozoic geothermal reservoir accounts for 56%, mainly located in the Xingji uplift and Gaoyang low uplift. Xiong’an New Area, Cangzhou, and the eastern part of Hengshui are excellent prospective target areas for the evaluation of the Mesoproterozoic geothermal reservoir in a single area. This evaluation method can provide a reference for the optimization of resource exploration and development target areas in key regions.
