    Abstract:

    Xiong’an New Area provides superior geothermal conditions. Especially, the Niutuozhen and the Rongcheng uplifts have witnessed many years of geothermal development. The majority of geothermal fields in the Rongcheng are suitable for largescale geothermal development. Also, the Rongcheng is the main planning and development area in the early development stage of Xiong’an New Area. Geothermal resources are of great significance in developing the ecology and clean heating the Xiong’an New Area. The main thermal reservoirs in the Rongcheng geothermal field include porositytype geothermal reservoir of the Neogene Minghuazhen Formation, and the bedrock thermal reservoir of the Cambrian, Jixian System and the Changcheng System. The bedrock thermal reservoir of the Jixian System is the main thermal reservoir in the region, with a buried depth of 700~3000 m, a thickness of 500~2000m, and a temperature of 50~98℃. It is characterized by large water volume, high water quality, and the inclination to reinjection. There is great potential for exploitation at the center of uplift in the Changcheng System. The D14 borehole shows that under the Changcheng System, the water yield for the stratigraphic unit reaches 2. 6 m3/h·m and the wellhead water temperature is 63. 7 ℃, which is suitable for the backup geothermal resources in Xiong’an New Area. Based on the stratigraphic structure of the upper thermal reservoirs, the Rongcheng geothermal field is divided into the slope zone in the west, uplift in the center and fault depression in the east. From the west to the east, the development potential for thermal reservoirs gradually increases. The annual recoverable geothermal resources in the Rongcheng geothermal field were 763000 tons of standard coal. According to numerical methods, under the condition that the water level dropped to no less than 150 m and the temperature of the exploitation well went down by less than 2 ℃, the annual recoverable resources of geothermal energy was equivalent to 810900 tons of standard coal. The results from both methods are similar. The evaluation results can provide reference for the planning and development of geothermal resources in Rongcheng.
