ARTYKUŁY NAUKOWE Planowane wiercenie badawcze w Karkonoszach dla potrzeb modelowania termicznego systemów gorących suchych skał (HDR)
Abstract
Exploratory drilling planned for modelling of hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal systems in the Karkonosze Mts.
A b s t r a c t. Looking in Poland for geological structures suitable for hot dry rock technology (HDR – Hot Dry Rock), we propose a new integrated method for selection of geological, petrographic, petrological, geophysical and hydrogeological data in order to descriminate between suitable geological objects. This approach allows identification of the most promising regional geological units in Poland: the Sudetes Mt. and the Fore-Sudetic block. The most prospective local geological units in those areas are granitoid massifs, in particular the Karkonosze granite pluton. The abandoned Michałowice granite quarry, located within the Karkonosze pluton, is proposed as a potential drilling site that best meet the requirements for a thermal modelling study.
