| Summary: | The Kadidia geothermal prospect area has two distinct geothermal systems. The
manifestations that appear on the surface are warm soil and hot springs which
are controlled by several existing structures. The structures that separate the two
Kadidia geothermal systems have not been identified. In this study, analysis of
gravity data for the Kadidia area was carried out to identify structures using
horizontal gradient (HG) and vertical gradient (VG) techniques as well as
improved normalized horizontal tilt angle (INH). Gravity data for the Kadidia
area were obtained from the Pusat Sumber Daya Mineral Batubara dan Panas
Bumi (PSDMBP) which conducted field surveys in 2012 and 2014. From this
study, it was found that the structures in the Kadidia area are normal faults that
form horst and grabens which control manifestations and form reservoirs. Horst
is the boundary between the North Kadidia and South Kadidia geothermal
systems, each of which is in the graben. In the graben structure, there is granite
with a low density of 2.7 gr/cm3. This faulted granite is located at a depth of 750
meters and is identified as the location of the reservoir. The heat source in both
systems comes from hot rocks at a depth of 5000 meters above sea level |
