Abstract
  • An organic organization and implementation of the available geothermal data in the southern Italian Regions (Campania, Calabria, Puglia and Sicily) useful to improve the exploratlon and exploitation of geothermal reservoirs, is the alm of the CNR project \"Evaluation of Geothermal Potential in Convergence Regions\" (VIGOR), financed by the Inter-Regional Operational Programme \"Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation\" POI 2007-2013. In the Mondragone area hydrothermal evidences has been known since roman time, and this area has been chosen to further improve geothermal knowledge through new geophysical and geologicaI exploration survey. From the geological point of view, the area is defined by an horst structure (Mt. Massico) elongate in NE-SW direction, characterized by a succession of Triassic-Cretaceous dolomitic Iimestone and Miocene terrigenous sediments. The Quaternary deposits are widespread in the adjacent plans, where the continental and marine sediments, interbedded with Roccamonfina and Campi Flegrei pyroclastic deposits, filling the Garigliano, to NW, and Volturno, to SE, graben, separated by the Mt Massico horst throught a NE-SW striking normal faults (Bergomi et al., 1969). Field and seismic data indicate the study area is interested by deep normaI NE-SW and N-S striking faults, although ESE-WNW to E-W strike-slip left-Iateral faults are also present (Billi et al., 1997; Bruno et al., 2000). Probably these structural pattern plays an important role for the Mt. Massico groundwater circolation, partially confining such structure from the less permeable deposits of plains, and allowing the groundwater to f10w primarily to the aquifer of the Garigliano plain (Allocca et al., 2005). At the southeastern edge of the massif four sulfur hot springs with temperatures between 22°C and 50°C emerge. In particular two hot springs, (\"La Calda\" and \"Della Salute\", up to 50°C and 29°C respectively) are located at the foothill of the Miocene terrigenous succession of Mt. Pizzuto, closely to the coast (Bergomi et al., 1969, Corniello, 1988). While the other two (\"S. Giuseppe\" and \"Mt. Petrino solforosa\" up to 22°C and 28°C respectively) are located at the foothill of the Mt. Petrino carbonatic structure (Trumpy & Manzella, 2009). According to some authors, the hot springs are fed by groundwater carbonate aquifer, where the water is heated and enriched of endogenous gas (CO2 H2S), rising along the extensive and deep tectonic discontinuity present, further testified by the morphological evidenced (sinkholes) found all along the southeastern edge of the Mt Massico (Del Prete et al., 2004). Moreover the different temperatures and degrees of mineralization of the four springs are interpreted as closely Iinked to the rising speed and water-rock contact time (Corniello, 1988; Allocca et al., 2005). A delimited area of 20 km2 south-east of Mt. Massico has been chosen to be studied by means of geological and geophysical surveys and deep drilling to provide analytical information useful to develop an hydrogeological 3D model that will allows the application of technologies for direct explotation of heat from geothermal source.
