基于微动勘探研究山西运城盐湖区地热田深部控热控水构造

    Microtremor survey-based investigation of deep geothermal- and water-controlling structures in the Salt Lake geothermal field, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, China

    • 摘要: 山西运城盐湖区地热田埋藏于人口稠密的城区下方,影响了该地热田的进一步勘查和开发。基于盐湖区地热田深部地温梯度西南高、东北低的分布特征,在运城盐湖区城镇南部设计1条NE向微动剖面,旨在探测盐湖区地热田的深部热储结构及NW向构造展布情况。微动二维速度结构剖面显示,在剖面东部存在一明显的低速异常体,应是由多条NW向张性断裂所形成的断裂破碎带所引起。该隐伏断裂破碎带与盐湖区地热田东北部的低地温梯度异常在空间上大致对应,推测该断裂破碎带可能促使地表冷水快速下渗,从而降低研究区东北部深部岩石的温度,形成较大规模的低温异常带。此外,微动方法揭示的断裂在研究区另一可控源反射地震剖面中可以追溯到,两种方法可以相互补充和验证。本次研究在前人工作的基础上进一步揭示了运城盐湖区地热田的深层地热结构和构造,为该区地热田的勘查和资源评价提供了更多的依据和指导,同时还证明了微动勘探技术在城市地质地热研究中的有效性和优越性。

       

      Abstract: The Salt Lake geothermal field in Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, China lies beneath a densely populated urban area, posing significant challenges to further geothermal exploration and extraction. Based on the distribution of geothermal gradients in the geothermal field, which are higher in the southwest and lower in the northeast, a NE-trending microtremor survey profile was arranged in the southern part of Yuncheng City, aimed at investigating the deep geothermal reservoir structure and NW-trending structures in the geothermal field. The 2D velocity structure profile reveals a pronounced low-velocity anomaly in the eastern part, which is supposed to be induced by the fault fracture zone formed by multiple NW-striking tensional faults. Spatially, this concealed fault zone roughly corresponds to the low-geothermal gradient anomaly in the northeastern Salt Lake geothermal field, suggesting that this fault fracture zone might facilitate the rapid infiltration of cold surface water, thereby lowering the temperature of deep rocks in the northeastern part, leading to the formation of a large-scale low-temperature anomaly zone. Additionally, the faults identified by the microtremor survey can be traceable and confirmed in a controlled source reflection seismic profile in the study area, demonstrating the complementary nature of the two methods. This study further reveals the deep geothermal structures of the Salt Lake geothermal field based on previous efforts. This study provides more valuable bases and guidance for future exploration and resource evaluation of geothermal fields in the region while also demonstrating the effectiveness and superiority of the microtremor survey method in research on urban geothermal resources.
