Field Excursion Report 2010
Presented at “Short Course on Geothermal Drilling, Resource Development and Power Plants”, organized by UNU-GTP and LaGeo, in Santa Tecla, El Salvador, January 16-22, 2011. GEOTHERMAL TRAINING PROGRAMME LaGeo S.A. de C.V. GEOTHERMAL ACTIVITY AND DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTH AMERICA: SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE STATUS IN BOLIVIA, CHILE, ECUADOR AND PERU Ingimar G. Haraldsson United Nations University Geothermal Training Programme Orkustofnun, Grensasvegi 9, 108 Reykjavik ICELAND [email protected] ABSTRACT South America holds vast stores of geothermal energy that are largely unexploited. These resources are largely the product of the convergence of the South American tectonic plate and the Nazca plate that has given rise to the Andes mountain chain, with its countless volcanoes. High-temperature geothermal resources in Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru are mainly associated with the volcanically active regions, although low temperature resources are also found outside them. All of these countries have a history of geothermal exploration, which has been reinvigorated with recent changes in global energy prices and the increased emphasis on renewables to combat global warming. The paper gives an overview of their main regions of geothermal activity and the latest developments in the geothermal sector are reviewed. 1. INTRODUCTION South America has abundant geothermal energy resources. In 1999, the Geothermal Energy Association estimated the continent’s potential for electricity generation from geothermal resources to be in the range of 3,970-8,610 MW, based on available information and assuming the use of technology available at that time (Gawell et al., 1999). Subsequent studies have put the potential much higher, as a preliminary analysis of Chile alone assumes a generation potential of 16,000 MW for at least 50 years from geothermal fluids with temperatures exceeding 150°C, extracted from within a depth of 3,000 m (Lahsen et al., 2010). -
Remobilization of Crustal Carbon May Dominate Volcanic Arc Emissions
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ESC Publications - Cambridge Univesity Submitted Manuscript: Confidential Title: Remobilization of crustal carbon may dominate volcanic arc emissions Authors: Emily Mason1, Marie Edmonds1,*, Alexandra V Turchyn1 Affiliations: 1 Department of Earth Sciences, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EQ *Correspondence to: [email protected]. Abstract: The flux of carbon into and out of Earth’s surface environment has implications for Earth’s climate and habitability. We compiled a global dataset for carbon and helium isotopes from volcanic arcs and demonstrated that the carbon isotope composition of mean global volcanic gas is considerably heavier, at -3.8 to -4.6 ‰, than the canonical Mid-Ocean-Ridge Basalt value of -6.0 ‰. The largest volcanic emitters outgas carbon with higher δ13C and are located in mature continental arcs that have accreted carbonate platforms, indicating that reworking of crustal limestone is an important source of volcanic carbon. The fractional burial of organic carbon is lower than traditionally determined from a global carbon isotope mass balance and may have varied over geological time, modulated by supercontinent formation and breakup. One Sentence Summary: Reworking of crustal carbon dominates volcanic arc outgassing, decreasing the estimate of fractional organic carbon burial. Main Text: The core, mantle and crust contain 90% of the carbon on Earth (1), with the remaining 10% partitioned between the ocean, atmosphere and biosphere. Due to the relatively short residence time of carbon in Earth’s surface reservoirs (~200,000 years), the ocean, atmosphere and biosphere may be considered a single carbon reservoir on million-year timescales. -

The data compiled from the Cascades and Aleutians are compared to geologic, geochemical and geophysical information from productive volcanic arc centers in the other parts of the world. Seven other volcanic arc segments from around the globe are used in this comparative study. Preliminary findings from data evaluation indicate that there are systematic changes in structural setting, from an extensional influ- ence south of Mt. Hood (in part due to encroachment of the back arc in the southern half) to more compressional north of Mt. Hood. Comparison with productive geothermal fields around the world shows that large fumarolic areas are associated with most >240°C power-producing geothermal systems outside the US arcs (e.g., Kamojang, Indonesia, among others), whereas there is a general absence of large fumarolic areas in the Cascades and Aleutian arcs, aside from of the Lassen volcano area. -

Constraining Upper Crustal Magmas in the N. Chilean Andes Chuck
Constraining Upper Crustal Magmas in the N. Chilean Andes Chuck Lewis College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences Oregon State University Senior thesis June 3rd 2020 Advisor: Professor Shanaka de Silva Abstract The 4.59-4.18 Ma Caspana ignimbrite, found within the Altiplano-Puna Volcanic Complex (APVC), is the result of an ~8km3 eruption that took place during the Neogene Ignimbrite Flare- up in the N. Chilean Andes. While most of the eruptions during this flare up are large, monogenetic eruptions, the Caspana that is characterized by a compositional gap of ~16% SiO2 between the parental andesite and daughter rhyolite. The rhyolitic plinian fallout is distinct in composition from the majority rhyolite but is also the result of fractionation from andesite. The andesitic magma in the Caspana system are shown to represent some of the most mafic magma that was recharging the upper crustal chambers in the APVC, though all the andesites seem to share a similar signature. Depth estimates and spatial locality place the chamber at the edge of the large thermal anomaly known as the Altiplano-Puna Magma Body (APMB), where cooling would allow for dense solidification during the waning stages of mantle flux. During an initial period of cooling, the system rapidly fractionated along a shallow cotectic and produced the first of two rhyolites. The system was remobilized following recharge and renewed convection produced the second of two rhyolites and fractionation models are shown for both crystallization sequences. The bulk rhyolitic pumice contains fayalite, amongst other Fe-rich minerals, that indicate low Fe3+/Fe2+. Oxidation state in the rhyolite was likely due to the crystallization of orthopyroxene in the presence of magnetite in the parental andesite. -

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. -

RESUMEN El relleno sedimentario de la cuenca del río Loa, en la Pampa del Tamarugal, es de gran complejidad. En él es posible distinguir al menos seis unidades diferentes. Su génesis se explicaría por la intervención e interacción de cambios climáticos en un ambiente árido, y de movimientos tectónicos durante el Cenozoico. ABSTRACT The sedimentary filling of the Pampa del Tamarugal in the Río Loa basin is compleXo At lcast six different units can be distinguished. Interferences between climatic changes in an arid environment and tectonic move ments account for their genesis. INTRODUCCION Durante mucho tiempo se ha pensado que el voluminoso relleno de depósitos aluviales y evapo ríticos de la depresión seguida por el río Loa, entre Calama y Quillagua (Fig. 1), correspondería a una sola formación, la Formación El Loa (Brüggen, 1950; Fuenzalida, 1957). Esta opinión prevalece todavía en estudios geológicos recientes (Boben rieth, 1980; Boric, 1980; Maksaev y Marinovic 1980), pese a que, en 1975, Rieu llamó la atención sobre la complejidad de los depósitos que rellenan la cuenca. Efectivamente, es posible distinguir va rias unidades estratigráficas, claramente separadas por discordancias de erosión (Fig. 2). Recientemente, Naranjo y Paskoff (1981) han caracterizado la estratigrafía del Cenozoico del sec tor comprendido entre Chiuchiu y Calama (22°20'- 22°27'S).
