摘要

Very basic questions regarding geothermal resources within extension terrains are: What are the dynamics of the entire hydrothermal fluid flow, and how the insight gained could be used to constrain hypothetical modeling of geothermal fluid flow. The flow path models for fluid feeding the geothermal cells need to be constrained by a broad range of geological, geochemical and geophysical data. Here the authors propose a view of the fluid dynamics of the complete cycle of non-magmatic geothermal resources specifically within the Basin and Range, and also within extension tectonic settings elsewhere including extension segments of orogenic terrains. The first portion of the pathway consists of regional-scale meteoric water slowly infiltrating downward into the saturated groundwater zone. The second portion consists of hydraulic barriers at depth that have the potential to act as collector structures. The last section of the flow path is a very localized tension-induced dilation structure that intersect one of the collector structures, creating a fluid pressure differential at depth. The conduit intersect would create the potential for water from the collector structure to flow upward toward the surface. The flow rate would be constrained by the transmissivity of both the collector structure and the up flow conduit. Dilation conduits that do not intersect an adequately permeable collector structure at depth would not host geothermal upflow. The maximum temperatures of non-magmatic geothermal resources in extension terrains are controlled by the crustal temperature gradient and the depth within the crust that the geothermal fluid has become thermally equilibrated, prior to ascending upward through the crust.
