“…The injection in the fault has a positive effect, reducing the temperature oscillations during the first years of exploitation in Case 2. The low decrease of the basin temperature is coherent with the results found in the literature related to the geothermal exploitation of low-temperature reservoirs [2].…”

“…Low-temperature geothermal fields have been exploited over decades for industrial applications in Iceland, Hungary, China, Turkey, France, Germany, Russia, and other countries [2], and in recent times many authors propose the use of geothermal energy standalone or coupled with other renewable energy sources [3][4][5]. As an example, a classical low-temperature geothermal field of meteoric origin, in Kamchatka, Russia, has extracted thermal water since 1966 mainly in the mode of artesian flow to supply numerous swimming pools, district heating of two villages, greenhouse farming, and fish breeding [6].…”

“…As an example, a classical low-temperature geothermal field of meteoric origin, in Kamchatka, Russia, has extracted thermal water since 1966 mainly in the mode of artesian flow to supply numerous swimming pools, district heating of two villages, greenhouse farming, and fish breeding [6]. The long-term exploitation (20 years) has been assessed finding an insignificant temperature decrease in the geothermal reservoir (0.5 • C) [2]. The geothermal power potential in a hot spring close to the Municipality of Isa, in Japan, has been analyzed through the gravity data estimating a power density of 30.4 kW e /km 2 for a 20 year exploitation [7].…”

In this study, the sustainability of low-temperature geothermal field exploitation in a carbonate reservoir near Mondragone (CE), Southern Italy, is analyzed. The Mondragone geothermal field has been extensively studied through the research project VIGOR (Valutazione del potenzIale Geotermico delle RegiOni della convergenza). From seismic, geo-electric, hydro-chemical and groundwater data, obtained through the experimental campaigns carried out, physiochemical features of the aquifers and characteristics of the reservoir have been determined. Within this project, a well-doublet open-loop district heating plant has been designed to feed two public schools in Mondragone town. The sustainability of this geothermal application is analyzed in this study. A new exploration well (about 300 m deep) is considered to obtain further stratigraphic and structural information about the reservoir. Using the derived hydrogeological model of the area, a numerical analysis of geothermal exploitation was carried out to assess the thermal perturbation of the reservoir and the sustainability of its exploitation. The effect of extraction and reinjection of fluids on the reservoir was evaluated for 60 years of the plant activity. The results are fundamental to develop a sustainable geothermal heat plant and represent a real case study for the exploitation of similar carbonate reservoir geothermal resources.

“…During the observational period, four plane-oriented earthquake clusters (produced by dike injections) were identified in this local area (##163, 165, 194, and 204; these numbers are shown in Figure 1). Figure 16 shows that a postmagmatic temperature increase of [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] ∘ b occurred during winter, from October 2011 to June 2012, after event #194 (which is interpreted to represent a dike injection that occurred on 02.08.2011). At this time, the maximum monthly temperature max increase of 6-12 ∘ b is compared to the annual maximum monthly temperature av .…”

The Koryaksky-Avachinsky volcanogenic basin, which has an area of 2530 km 2 , is located 25 km from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky City and includes five Quaternary volcanoes (two of which, Avachinsky (2750 masl) and Koryaksky (3456 masl), are active), and is located within a depression that has formed atop Cretaceous basement rocks. Magma injection zones (dikes and chamber-like shapes) are defined by plane-oriented clusters of local earthquakes that occur during volcanic activity (mostly in 2008-2011) below Koryaksky and Avachinsky volcanoes at depths ranging from −4.0 to −2.0 km and +1.0 to +2.0 km, respectively. Water isotopic ( D, 18 O) data indicate that these volcanoes act as recharge areas for their adjacent thermal mineral springs (Koryaksky Narzans, Isotovsky, and Pinachevsky) and the wells of the Bystrinsky and Elizovo aquifers. Carbon 13 b data in b\ 2 from CO 2 springs in the northern foothills of Koryaksky Volcano reflect the magmatic origin of CO 2 . Carbon 13 b data in methane CH 4 reservoirs penetrated by wells in the Neogene-Quaternary layer around Koryaksky and Avachinsky volcanoes indicate the thermobiogenic origin of methane. Thermal-hydrodynamic TOUGH2 conceptual modeling is used to determine what types of hydrogeologic boundaries and heat and mass sources are required to create the temperature, pressure, phase, and CO 2 distributions observed within the given geological conditions of the Koryaksky-Avachinsky volcanic geofluid system.
