Geothermal Reservoir Identification based on Gravity Data Analysis in Rajabasa Area- Lampung

Abstract

Gravity research in the Rajabasa geothermal prospect area was conducted to determine geothermalreservoirs and faults as reservoir boundaries. The research includes spectrum analysis and separation of the Bouguer anomaly to obtain a residual Bouguer anomaly, gradient analysis using the second vertical derivative (SVD) technique to identify fault structures or lithological contact, and 3D inversion modeling of the residual Bouguer anomaly to obtain a 3D density distribution subsurface model. Analysis was performed based on all results with supplementary data from geology, geochemistry, micro-earthquake (MEQ) epicenter distribution map, and magnetotelluric (MT) inversion profiles. The study found 3 (three) geothermal reservoirs in Mount Balirang, west of Mount Rajabasa, and south of Pangkul Hot Spring, with a depth of around 1,000-1,500 m from the ground level. Fault structures and lithologies separate the three reservoirs. The location of the reservoir in the Balirang mountain area corresponds to the model data from MEQ, temperature, and magnetotelluric resistivity data. The heat source of the geothermal system is under Mount Rajabasa, which is indicated by the presence of high-density values (might be frozen residual magma), high-temperature values, and the high number of micro-earthquakes epicenters below the peak of Mount Rajabasa.

Structural Geology Identification based on Derivative Analysis Gravity Data in Tangkuban Perahu Mountain

“…Gravity is also a method that is very sensitive to changes in the lateral and vertical direction. Therefore, this method is often used to study geological structures, bedrock, rock intrusions, sedimentary basins, and ancient river deposits [3]. This method utilizes differences in gravity that occur due to differences in rock density below the earth's surface.…”

Geothermal exploration using lineament density analysis at Rajabasa Volcano, South Lampung

“…This research location presents uncommon traits. The Rajabasa Volcano consists of volcanic rocks, Rajabasa lava (RI), Rajabasa pyroclastic flow (Ra), Lava 845 (8451), Lava Balirang (BI), Balirang pyroclastic flow (Ba), ancient Pematang Taman volcanic products (PTv), and ancient Tangkil volcanic products (Tv) (Sarkowi & Wibowo, 2021), as presented in Figure 2. Additionally, the Kalianda geologic map exhibits geologic structure patterns and lineament structure heading in thenorthwest-southeast direction (Figure 2).…”

Pemodelan Distribusi Air Panas Menggunakan Program Inversi Damped Least Square Pada Data Vertical Electrical Sounding Di Desa Way Muli Dan Kunjir

“…Dari gambar tersebut terlihat bahwa adanya perbedaan topografi dari ketiga titik sounding yang membentuk sistem panas bumi high terrain (Umam dkk., 2018). Sistem panas bumi high terrain biasanya berasosiasi dengan pola aliran lateral outflow seperti yang terjadi di Desa Way Muli dan Kunjir (Sarkowi dan Wibowo, 2021). Pola aliran lateral outflow muncul menjauhi daerah pegunungan menuju dataran rendah hingga pinggir pantai.…”

“…Tingkat temperatur dari kedua sampel sumur air panas menunjukkan bahwa nilai temperatur dari data sampel termasuk dalam tipe thermal spring (Subtavewung dkk., 2005). Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa air panas di daerah ini merupakan air tanah yang berasosiasi dengan aliran lateral outflow (Sarkowi dan Wibowo, 2021).…”
