Such an intense (Fig. 1); volcanism is produced by the subduction process thrusting the oceanic Nazca Plate beneath the South America Plate. The anomalous geothermal gradient related to the geodynamic assessment of this extended area gives El Tatio, Apacheta, Surire, Puchuldiza-Tuya also rise to intense geothermal activity not necessarily associated with the volcanic structures.

The Chilean cordillera provides a unique geologic INTRODUCTION setting to evaluate the influence of volcanism, crustal thickness, and large scale faulting on fluid Measurement of 3He/4He in geothermal water and gas geochemistry in geothermal systems. In the Central samples has been used to guide geothermal Volcanic Zone (CVZ) of the Andes in the northern exploration efforts (e.g., Torgersen and Jenkins, part of Chile, the continental crust is quite thick (50- 1982; Welhan et al., 1988) Elevated 3He/4He ratios 70 km) and old (Mesozoic to Paleozoic), whereas the (R/Ra values greater than ~0.1) have been interpreted Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) in central Chile has to indicate a mantle influence on the He isotopic thinner (60-40 km) and younger (Cenozoic to composition, and may indicate that igneous intrusions Mesozoic) crust. In the SVZ, the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault provide the primary heat source for the associated System, a major intra-arc transpressional dextral geothermal fluids. Studies of helium isotope strike-slip fault system which controls the magmatic compositions of geothermal fluids collected from activity from 38°S to 47°S, provides the opportunity wells, hot springs and fumaroles within the Basin and to evaluate the effects of regional faulting on Range province of the western US (Kennedy and van geothermal fluid chemistry.

Photographs of alkalic-type epithermal gold deposits and ores. Upper left: Cripple Creek, Colorado—One of the largest alkalic-type epithermal gold deposits in the world showing the Cresson open pit looking southwest. Note the green funnel-shaped area along the pit wall is lamprophyre of the Cresson Pipe, a common alkaline rock type in these deposits. The Cresson Pipe was mined by historic underground methods and produced some of the richest ores in the district. The holes that are visible along several benches in the pit (bottom portion of photograph) are historic underground mine levels. (Photograph by Karen Kelley, USGS, April, 2002).

Abstract This work aims to assess geothermal power potential in identified high enthalpy geothermal areas in the Chilean Andes, based on reservoir temperature and volume. In addition, we present a set of highly favorable geothermal areas, but without enough data in order to quantify the resource. Information regarding geothermal systems was gathered and ranked to assess Indicated or Inferred resources, depending on the degree of confidence that a resource may exist as indicated by the geoscientific information available to review. Resources were estimated through the USGS Heat in Place method. A Monte Carlo approach is used to quantify variability in boundary conditions.

JUSTIFICACIÓN En el territorio nacional existen alrededor de 400 volcanes, la mayoría de ellos no presentan actividad. Los volcanes activos se encuentran hacia el sur del país en las regiones de Arequipa, Moquegua y Tacna, en parte de la zona volcánica de los Andes (ZVA), estos son: Coropuna, Valle de Andagua, Hualca Hualca, Sabancaya, Ampato, Misti en la Región Arequipa; Ubinas, Ticsani y Huaynaputina en la región Moquegua, y el Yucamani y Casiri en la región Tacna. El Volcán Ubinas es considerado el volcán más activo que tiene el Perú. Desde el año 1550, se han registrado 24 erupciones aprox. (Rivera, 2010). Estos eventos se presentan como emisiones intensas de gases y ceniza precedidos, en algunas oportunidades, de fuertes explosiones. Los registros históricos señalan que el Volcán Ubinas ha presentado un Índice máximo de Explosividad Volcánica (IEV) (Newhall & Self, 1982) de 3, considerado como moderado a grande.

  • Large Scale Natural Gas Emplacement Traced by Noble Gases: the Virunga Volcanic Province
    Large scale natural gas emplacement traced by noble gases: the Virunga Volcanic Province Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation “with Research Distinction in Geological Science” in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Erica Lynn Maletic The Ohio State University May 2015 Project Advisor: Dr. Thomas Darrah, School of Earth Sciences Abstract Enhanced oil recovery (EOR), sometimes called tertiary recovery, involves the injection of miscible fluids such as carbon dioxide (CO2) into previously produced hydrocarbon reservoirs. EOR commonly prolongs the life of petroleum reservoirs globally, in some instances nearly doubling the amount of petroleum initially recovered with conventional methods and water flooding. As a result, today, carbon dioxide reservoirs with sufficient volume and pressure to provide EOR fluids are a resource that is in an increasingly high demand. For these reasons, the development of geochemical techniques, capable of better characterizing the source and the history of CO2 reservoir filling, trapping, and producible volumes is critical to the future economic success of EOR and the petroleum industry in general. In order to explore successfully for economically viable CO2 fields, one needs to understand the sources, emplacement history, and subsequent tectonic evolution of a CO2 reservoir. These factors can be determined by understanding the magmatic source of CO2 gases, the isotopic composition of the CO2 gas, the stratigraphic and structural conditions of reservoir trapping, and the volume of CO2 that is present in reservoirs today. The Virunga Volcanic Province (VVP), located along the western branch of the East African Rift System (EARS), provides an example of a currently filling CO2 reservoir.

  • The Cordillera Real
    44 THE CORDILLERA REAL THE CORDILLERA REAL , BY EVELIO ECHEVARRIA C. HE lovely ranges of Southern Peru slope gradually down to the shores of Lake Titicaca, but this is not their end; to the east of Carabaya knot springs another ridge, which enters Bolivia and reaches its maximum elevation and magnificence in the Cordillera Real of the latter country. The name Cordillera Real was given by the Spaniards as homage to a range of royal dignity; it is located in the north-west of Bolivia, between I5° 40" and 16° 40" S., running roughly north-west to south­ east for an approximate length of 100 miles. This range was termed by Austrian mountaineers ' der Himalaya der N euen Welt'. Although this honour may now be disputed by several Peruvian cordilleras, it contains nevertheless mountain scenery of Himalayan grandeur; six twenty-thousanders and scores of lesser peaks are found in the region between Illampu (20,873 ft.) and Illimani (21 ,201 ft.), the mighty pillars of each extreme. The Cordillera Real is a snow and ice range; it forms a lovely back­ ground for that remarkable high plateau, the Bolivian Altiplano, and is in full sight nine months a year. The white peaks, the steppe-like plain and the empty, blue skies have given to this part of Bolivia a Tibetan air that many travellers have noticed; and the Mongolian features of the Aymara Indians, stolidly facing the chill winds, reinforce this opinion. General description In the north and in the south the Cordillera Real rises over deep mountain basins ; peaks like Illimani soar well above the wooded hills of Coroico and Inquisive, towns only 4,700 ft.
