Potential Analysis of Deep Geothermal Resources in Jiangsu Province and Singapore
Both Jiangsu Province in China and Singapore are facing energy shortages,and due to geographical limitations,there is an urgent need to transform towards deep geothermal resources.The development and utilization of deep hot dry rock is one of the important directions.By comparing and analyzing the basic geothermal geology of the Subei Basin in Jiangsu Province,China and Singapore,it is believed that both are located around the Pacific geothermal anomaly zone,and the fault system and igneous rocks are widely developed,indicating an excellent deep geothermal background.Through the analysis of the geothermal field,it is revealed that the terrestrial heat flow and geothermal gradient of both are higher than the average level of the mainland,with Singapore having a world-class high-temperature background.In recent years,the successful exploration of Cambrian-Ordovician hot dry rock in the Subei Basin has provided important insights for the development of deep geothermal resources in Singapore.The formation of hot dry rock is closely related to plate subduction,where heat flow is transmitted upwards through faults,heating surface water and/or groundwater,and ultimately exposing hot springs at the intersection of faults.This reserrch not only elucidates the basic geothermal geology and geothermal field characteristics of the Subei Basin and Singapore,but also provides theoretical support for achieving regional energy self-sufficiency.
