Abstract

The Tengchong volcanic geothermal area is one of the areas in China which has powerful geothermal energy potential. The chemical compositions of the thermal waters discharged in this area were studied to obtain information on boiling and mixing relationships and average reservoir temperatures. Then a conceptual model of the Tengchong volcanic geothermal area was formulated. Hydrothermal areas have reservoir temperatures ranging from 90 to 150°C; such temperatures can be found in up to 60% of the 58 hydrothermal areas. Five hydrothermal areas have high temperatures, with an average reservoir temperature of more than 150°C, and occupy less than 10% of the total. The Hot Sea geothermal field is one of the five high temperature hydrothermal areas where a more detailed investigation was made.
