Abstract:As an important energy base in central China, the Pingdingshan coalfield has abundant coal and geothermal resources. The cooperative exploration of coal and geothermal resources is significant for the comprehensive utilization of energy resources. This work collected coalbearing samples from the Pingdingshan coalfield to investigate the tectonothermal evolution of a high geothermal coalfield, especially the present geothermal field and hydrocarbon generation model. The geochemical results show that the Shanxi … Show more
