Abstract

A comprehensive mathematical model for the correlation of geological phenomena such as earthquake magnitude with geochemical measurements is presented in this work. This model is validated against measurements, well established in the literature, of {sup 220}Rn/{sup 222}Rn in the fumarolic gases of the Nisyros Island, Aegean Sea, Greece. It is believed that this model may be further used to develop a generalized methodology for the prediction of geological phenomena such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions in the vicinity of the Nisyros Island.

Research and development of geothermal resources in Greece: present status and future prospects

Conference Vrouzi, F - Geothermics; (United States)

Geothermal energy in Greece is attracting attention as a potentially important contributor to the national energy sources. The geological structure of this country is such that favourable conditions exist for geothermal resources. Hydrothermal systems have already been identified on the islands o Milos and Nisyros (Aegean Sea). Results of preliminary production tests in the five existing geothermal wells on Milos can guarantee the operation of geothermal electric condensing units to a total capacity of about 24 MW. The first exploratory wildcat well, drilled on Nisyros (caldera area) to a depth of 1816 m, confirmed the existence of a very highmore »« less
Update of geothermal energy development in Greece

Journal Article Koutroupis, N

Following the completion of the Geothermal Reconnaissance Study in Greece and the successful drilling of seven deep geothermal wells in the Aegean islands of Milos and Nisyros, PPC started the first step towards geothermal development for electricity production as follows: A geothermal electric pilot plant of 2 MW[sub e] nominal capacity was installed on the Zephyria plain in Milos island (1985). During a nine month operation of the plant, problems connected with its long term operation were solved (hot reinjection of the high salinity brine, turbine washing etc). A feasibility study regarding exploitation of the Nisyros geothermal resources was completedmore »« less

The Effect of CO₂ on the Measurement of ²²⁰Rn and ²²²Rn with Instruments Utilising Electrostatic Precipitation

Journal Article Lane-Smith, Derek; Sims, Kenneth - Acta Geophysica (Online)

In some volcanic systems, thoron and radon activity and CO₂ flux, in soil and fumaroles, show a relationship between (²²⁰Rn/²²²Rn) and CO₂ efflux. It is theorized that deep, magmatic sources of gas are characterized by high ²²²Rn activity and high CO₂ efflux, whereas shallow sources are indicated by high ²²⁰Rn activity and relatively low CO₂ efflux. In this paper we evaluate whether the observed inverse relationship is a true geochemical signal, or potentially an analytical artifact of high CO₂ concentrations. We report results from a laboratory experiment using the RAD7 radon detector, known ²²²Rn (radon) and ²²⁰Rn (thorn), and amore »« less

Updating of the geological and geothermal research on Milos island

Journal Article Fytikas, M - Geothermics; (USA)

The oldest geologic formations outcropping in Milos are an Alpine age crystalline basement and a transgressive marine Neogene sequence. The island is mainly volcanic. It belongs to the Aegean Active Arc, within which the Milos archipelago shows the most important volcanism in terms of quantity, variety of products and duration of activity (3.5-0.8 M.a.). There are no large central volcanic edifices but different, frequently coeval eruption centres. The initial and intermediate phases of activity were mainly pyroclastic and submarine, whereas the last one (0.1 M.a.) was subaerial and formed tuff rings, surge deposits and lava flows, all of homogenous rhyoliticmore »« less

The self-potential method in the geothermal exploration of Greece

Journal Article Apostolopoulos, G; Louis, I; Lagios, E - Geophysics

Self-potential (SP) anomalies are generated by flows of fluid, heat, and ions in the earth. SP investigations have been used to locate and delineate sources associated with such flows in three areas of geothermal interest in Greece -- Lesvos Island, Loutra Hypatis (central Greece), and Nisyros Island. A combination of geophysical methods, with SP being the primary method, has been applied in these areas. The SP method is adversely influenced by various sources of noise. Field procedures have been suggested to minimize their effects by monitoring electrode polarization and telluric activity. The interpretation of SP contour maps is preferred tomore »« less
