Abstract

The geothermal research has been carried out on the Heunghae, Pohang geothermal area know as having geo-heat-flow area in the Korean peninsula. This study results so far indicate that geothermal water in the area is in peripheral waters of hydrothermal area and is not in equilibrium with the reservoir rock. The average oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope values are as follows: deep groundwater $(average:\;{\delta}^{18}O=-10.1\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-65.8\%_{\circ})$, intermediate groundwater (average: $(average:\;{\delta}^{18}O=-8.9\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-59.6\%_{\circ})$, shallow groundwater $(average:\;{\delta}^{18}O=-8.0\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-53.6\%_{\circ})$, surface water $(average:\;{\delta}^{18}O=-7.9\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-53.3\%_{\circ})$ respectively. Deep groundwaters was originated from a local meteoric water recharged from distant, topographically high mountain region and not affected by the sea water. High temperature zone inferred from water geothermometers is around D-1, D-5, D-6, 1-04 well zones. The estimated enthalpy from Silica-enthalpy mixing model is near 410 kJ/kg, which corresponds to the temperature of $98^{\circ}C$, and in consistent with the result of Na-K and K-Mg geothermometer.

한반도의 고 지열류량 지대에 속하는 포항시 흥해지역 일대에 대한 지열수 조사를 수행하였다. 그 결과 이 지역 지열수는 지열수대 연변부로서 저류암과 완전평형을 이루지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 동위원소분석 결과 심부 지하수(평균: ${\delta}^{18}O=-10.1\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-65.8\%_{\circ}$), 중간심도(평균: ${\delta}^{18}O=-8.9\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-59.6\%_{\circ}$), 천부지하수(평균: ${\delta}^{18}O=-8.0\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-53.6\%_{\circ}$), 지표수(평균: ${\delta}^{18}O=-7.9\%_{\circ},\;{\delta}D=-53.3\%_{\circ}$)를 보여 심부지하수는 강우에서 기원하였고, 지형적으로 고도가 높은 지역에서 함양되었으며, 해수의 영향을 받지 않았음이 밝혀졌다. 물 지질온도계를 이용한 결과 D-2, D-5, D-6, I-04부근에서 이상 고온대가 추정된다. 실리카-엔탈피 혼합모델 추정결과 저류대 온도는 410 kJ/kg으로서 $98^{\circ}C$에 해당하여 Na-K 및 K-Mg온도계에 의한 추정결과와 일치한다.
