Box 100 A-1400 Vienna, Austria USE OF ISOTOPE TECHNIQUES TO TRACE THE ORIGIN OF ACIDIC FLUIDS IN GEOTHERMAL SYSTEMS IAEA, VIENNA, 2005 IAEA-TECDOC-1448 ISBN 92–0–102805–9 ISSN 1011–4289 © IAEA, 2005 Printed by the IAEA in Austria April 2005 FOREWORD Geothermal energy is an indigenous source of energy and, if used properly, also a renewable one. Many IAEA Member States are currently using these resources either for electric power generation or for direct use of the heat. However, geothermal development involves high risks due to its geological uncertainty, intensive drilling investment and other technical difficulties. Natural waters with pH values lower than 5 found in geothermal areas are called ‘acidic fluids’. The presence of these fluids constrains the development of geothermal resources in many geothermal systems around the globe. Acid wells are either plugged or abandoned. Limited understanding of their origin prevents effective management of many high temperature geothermal reservoirs. This issue was identified as a major problem encountered in geothermal development and management during an advisory group meeting organized by the IAEA and held in Vienna from 29 May to 1 June 1995. At that meeting, the state of the art on this subject was reviewed and research needs identified by a group of 19 experts from 13 Member States. It was suggested that a research project be supported by the IAEA to promote the application of isotope techniques, in particular, isotopes of sulphur compounds, to study the origin of acidic fluids in geothermal reservoirs. Based on the recommendations of the meeting, the IAEA implemented a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) on The Use of Isotope Techniques in Problems Associated with Geothermal Exploitation (1997–2000). Research groups from China, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, Turkey and the United States of America participated in and contributed to the project. The current publication is a compilation of final reports on ten individual studies carried out under the CRP. The IAEA would like to thank A. Truesdell and H. Ferrer for reviewing the manuscripts.

These fluids occur in geothermal well discharges, especially in geothermal areas associated with recent volcanism such as the geothermal areas in Central America, Japan and the Philippines. Acidic fluids cause serious damage to production wells. Their origin needs to be understood in order to design appropriate preventive or treatment measures. Previous research has mainly aimed at determination of geological occurrence and chemical characterization of acidic fluids. Two major types of acidity had been identified, sulphate acidity and HCl acidity. The former was believed to be the result of oxidation of H2S or SO2 from a deep source to SO4. The latter was hypothesed as resulting from the reaction of feldspar with superheated steam. Realizing the potential contribution of stable isotopes of the water molecule and those of sulphur compounds in tracing the sources of acidic fluids, especially the sulphate type of acidity in geothermal well discharges, the IAEA organized a Coordinated Research Project (CRP) with the objectives of integrating isotope techniques, in particular the isotopes of sulphur compounds, into: (1) identification of the origin of the water component in acidic fluids; (2) identification of the origin of sulphur compounds in acidic fluids and; (3) study on mixing of waters from different sources to form acidic fluids. In addition to these objectives, the CRP was also to test isotope geothermometry based on sulphur compounds in geothermal fluids. Ten research groups from China, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Philippines, the Russian Federation, Turkey and the United States of America participated in the CRP and carried out field and laboratory investigations on twenty geothermal fields. Samples of geothermal waters, gases and 18 2 3 34 minerals were collected and analyzed for the following isotopes: δ O, δ H, H of water, δ S in H2S 34 18 34 gas, δ S in aqueous sulphate (SO4), δ O in aqueous sulphate (SO4), δ S in anhydrite and pyrite and δ 18O in anhydrite as required by the individual research projects. Table I provides an overview of geothermal fields investigated, main technical issues involved and isotope methodologies used and major findings of the project. Results of the research can be summarized as follows. Origin of water in acidic fluids In this CRP, isotopic composition of oxygen-18 and deuterium in waters sampled from acidic wells indicates that these waters are mixtures of meteoric and magmatic waters. Examples of this type of geothermal systems are Miravalles in Costa Rica, Onikobe in Japan, Los Humeros in Mexico and Several fields in the Philippines. It has further shown that acidic fluids are isotopically heavier in some systems, implying a larger fraction of magmatic inputs. This isotopic evidence confirms the hypothesis that some acidic fluids are un-neutralized magmatic water. Origin of sulphur compounds in acidic fluids There are three possible origins for the aqueous sulphate in geothermal well discharges of a volcanic geothermal system: a. oxidation of H2S gas similar to that producing acidic hot springs and ponds at the surface, b. hydrolysis of magmatic SO2 gas, c. hydrolysis of native sulphur at shallow depth. 1 34 δ S in aqueous sulphate

Ebeko is an active volcano on Paramushir Island, northern Kuril Islands, showing characteristic Vulcanian-type activity. In 2019, we started a comprehensive survey using a combination of field station records and repeated unoccupied aircraft system (UAS) surveys to describe the geomorphological features of the edifice and its evolution during ongoing activity. Seismic data revealed the activity of the volcano and were complemented by monitoring cameras, showing a mean explosion interval of 34 min. Digital terrain data generated from UAS quadcopter photographs allowed for the identification of the dimensions of the craters, a structural architecture and the tephra deposition at cm-scale resolution. The UAS was equipped with a thermal camera, which in combination with the terrain data, allowed it to identify fumaroles, volcano-tectonic structures and vents and generate a catalog of 282 thermal spots. The data provide details on a nested crater complex, aligned NNE-SSW, erupting on the northern rim of the former North Crater.

Hydrothermal fluxes of magmatic chlorine and sulfur from volcano-hydrothermal systems of the Kuril Islands (Russia). Elena Kalacheva (1) and Yuri Taran (1,2) (1) Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, FED RAS, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky 683006, Russia ([email protected]), (2) Institute of Geophysics, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México City 04510, México ([email protected]) The hydrothermal flux may be provided by the discharge of fluids formed at depth over the magma body and/or by acid waters, which are formed by the absorption of the ascending volcanic vapor by shallow groundwater. Thus, the anion composition (Cl and SO4) of the discharging thermal waters from a volcano-hydrothermal system in many cases originates from the volcanic vapor and should be taken into account in estimations of the magmatic volatile output and volatile recycling in subduction zones. Here we report the chemical composition of thermal waters and the measured solute fluxes from volcano-hydrothermal systems of Kuril Islands including Paramushir (Ebeko volcanic centre), Shiashkotan (volcanoes Sinarka and Kuntomintar), Ketoy (Pallas volcano), Kunashir (vol- canoes Mendeleev and Golovnin). The fluxes were estimated after measuring flow rates and water composition of streams that drain thermal fields of islands. The maximal hydrothermal flux of Cl and S within the Kuril Chain was measured for Ebeko volcano, Paramushir (drained by Yurieva River) as 82 t/d and 222 t/d of chloride and sulfate, respectively. This is comparable with output by fumaroles of Ebeko.

  • Russia Background
    The World Factbook Central Asia :: Russia Introduction :: Russia Background: Founded in the 12th century, the Principality of Muscovy, was able to emerge from over 200 years of Mongol domination (13th-15th centuries) and to gradually conquer and absorb surrounding principalities. In the early 17th century, a new Romanov Dynasty continued this policy of expansion across Siberia to the Pacific. Under PETER I (ruled 1682-1725), hegemony was extended to the Baltic Sea and the country was renamed the Russian Empire. During the 19th century, more territorial acquisitions were made in Europe and Asia. Defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 contributed to the Revolution of 1905, which resulted in the formation of a parliament and other reforms. Repeated devastating defeats of the Russian army in World War I led to widespread rioting in the major cities of the Russian Empire and to the overthrow in 1917 of the imperial household. The communists under Vladimir LENIN seized power soon after and formed the USSR. The brutal rule of Iosif STALIN (1928-53) strengthened communist rule and Russian dominance of the Soviet Union at a cost of tens of millions of lives. The Soviet economy and society stagnated in the following decades until General Secretary Mikhail GORBACHEV (1985-91) introduced glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) in an attempt to modernize communism, but his initiatives inadvertently released forces that by December 1991 splintered the USSR into Russia and 14 other independent republics. Since then, Russia has shifted its post-Soviet democratic ambitions in favor of a centralized semi-authoritarian state in which the leadership seeks to legitimize its rule through managed national elections, populist appeals by President PUTIN, and continued economic growth.

  • Colloids in the Hydrothermal-Magmatic Systems of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands
    PROCEEDINGS, 44th Workshop on Geothermal Reservoir Engineering Stanford University, Stanford, California, February 11-13, 2019 SGP-TR-214 Colloids in the hydrothermal-magmatic systems of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands Vladimir I. Belousov, Irina V. Belousova Russia, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Boulevard Piipa 9, Institute of Volcanology and Seismology [email protected] Keywords: Colloids, hydrothermal-magmatic systems, geyserites, silica gel, acidic extrusion, ignimbrites, acid changes, opal rocks, hydrolysis reactions, aluminosilicate minerals, lyophilic sols, leaching, ligands, magma chambers, sulphide colloids. ABSTRACT Metacolloids in active hydrothermal systems began to be investigated in the 1960s. Currently, several hydrothermal-magmatic systems associated with stratovolcanoes have been explored in Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands. The water-volcanic reaction leads to the formation of silicate and sulphide colloids. Silicate colloids are a geological and geochemical factor that changes the permeability of host rocks, the temperature regime, the chemical properties of thermal waters and affects the formation of ore deposits. The accumulation of heat and non-reactive gases under impermeable layers leads to an increase in temperature and is accompanied by partial melting of siliceous rocks with the formation of ignimbrites and foci of acid magmas. 1. INTRODUCTION High-temperature hydrothermal systems are the subsurface convective cells of meteoric water circulating in the Earth's crust to a depth of 5-10 km (Belousov, 1978). The lower part of such cells is overlapped by the crust-mantle convective cell in which the heat and mass transfer is performed by magmatic melts, and the source of thermal energy generation is the upper mantle. According to the data of geological survey, all of the selected geochemical types of thermal waters are interconnected and originate from high-temperature chloride waters.

We identified the following hydrothermal metasomatic facies that developed in tuffites and tuffs: opalites (mono opalite, opal–clay, and opal–alunite), as well as low and moderatetemperature propylites. We show the position of each new facies in the structure of the hydrothermal magmatic system. We obtained correlative relationships of the physical and mechanical properties of the rock to the intensity and character of secondary alteration. It is pointed out that all of these rocks obey a common trend in the interrelationships between their properties, which may provide evidence of a common origin and progressive direction of hydrothermal pro cesses in the interior of the North Paramushir system.
