B: Resources Assessment and Geothermal Applications (afternoon)
Presentation
We present the results of an integrated geophysical approach for the characterization of the geothermal reservoir on the Grado Island, northeastern Adriatic Sea (Italy), where a low-enthalpy binary pilot-plant is under development for district-heating purposes.
The initial geothermal potential assessment was based on the geophysical prospect and the results of the first exploration borehole...

Presentation
In Slovenia, production of geothermal energy from thermal water (T > 20 °C) is actually 635,9 TJ (176,6 GWht (15,19 ktoe). It increases and the potential enables achieving the objectives 2020 (20 ktoe) by the development of additional geothermal resources, better efficiency of existing wells and activation of unused existing wells.
The objective for the contribution from geothermal...

Presentation
Over the last few years in Croatia several international companies and local developers have worked on the potential of high enthalpy geothermal fields. They have managed to get several new exploration licenses for power generation from deep geothermal energy.
The object interest is fractured carbonate geothermal water aquifers, able to produce temperatures much higher than 100°C. Currently,...

Presentation
The demand for low-enthalpy thermal waters to be used in balneology, as natural curative resources in Spa treatments, is rapidly increasing across Europe.
However, long-term abstractions of thermal resources should be carefully planned to avoid waters overexploitation and contamination, which may cause changes in the hydrodynamic pressure of the thermal aquifers and in the chemical...

Presentation
See contribution of E. BUSCHER "Geothermal Development and Activities in Germany" (in replacement of W. WITTIG)
----------
Geothermal resources tend to be found in deeper and harder geologic formations than typical hydrocarbon reservoirs. Therefore, drilling technologies from the oil & gas field need to be improved constantly to make for more efficient, economic drilling. Yet today...

Presentation
Ferrara "District Heating Plant", managed by HERA group, is one of the best applications in Italy and in Europe of “Integrated Energy System”, based on geothermal source: the geothermal resource was developed as the primary source for the urban heating system, but just from the beginning it was integrated with other resource: the “Waste–To–Energy” plant and back - up boilers.
The...

Presentation
Over the last few years, the Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia (RFVG) launched 5 calls for the geothermal energy direct uses, including borehole heat exchangers, shallow aquifers and deep geothermal resources beyond 700 m depth. About 20 projects for heating and cooling of public buildings funded, with a substantial contribution of 77% of the admissible costs, supported by EU funding. This...

Presentation
In spring 2004, a 1857 m deep geothermal well Be-2/03 was drilled in the Benedikt place, north-eastern Slovenia. The temperature of thermal water exceeds 100 °C. The water belongs to the Na-HCO3 hydrogeochemical facies and has been classified as a CO2-rich healing mineral water suitable for drinking, bottling and balneology. Free degassing gas is almost pure CO2 (99.9 volume %). Major ion...

Greece is favoured by geothermal resources encountered in regions of Quaternary or Miocene volcanism and in continental basins of high heat flow.
Although the high enthalpy (>300 C) geothermal potential identified by deep drilling in Milos and Nisyros islands still remains unused, the low enthalpy geothermal resources (T<90C) identified by shallow wells in the vicinity of thermal springs...
