Today Mazara del Vallo
is the most important
fishing port of Italy,
the economy has been
improved thanks to
the rich production of
grapes and wine,
citrus fruits and olives.

Previous studies
A preliminary attempt
to evaluate the
geothermal
potentialities of Sicily
was performed by the
National Research
Council in the frame of
the inventories of
geothermal resources
(Catalano et al., 1982;
Fancelli et al, 1991;
Fancelli et al., 1994)

Available data at depth
Oil exploration in western Sicily started in
the late 1950s when several exploration
wells were drilled, and continued with the
acquisition of many seismic reflection
profiles and the drilling of new wells in
the1980s
Although it has not produced completely
satisfactory results for oil industry, this
hydrocarbon exploration provided a great
amount of data, resulting very suitable for
geothermal resource assessment.

Seimic profiles interpretation
The Meso-Cenozoic carbonates (Trapanese–Saccense facies) are related to a group of
reflectors with a variable amplitude, medium-low frequency and good lateral
continuity, alternating with transparent zones, topped by a high amplitude, good
lateral continuity reflector

Temperature measurements within
the reservoir
Reservoir Temperature vs. Depth
Contrada Triglia well
Gazzera well
• Available measurements pointed out an increase of temperatures from 35-40°C
up to 95-100°C
• A gradient of about 10 °C km-1 was observed in proximal and distal parts of the
system, in respect to recharge areas.
• A regional scale reservoir with a significant convective flow can be highlighted
Activities to be completed
Magnetotelluric profile across the
area (delayed for early grape harvest)

Activities to be completed
• Well Core analysis @ ENI Core
Repository
• Permeability tests in situ and in lab
• Thermo fluid dynamic model to give an
estimation of a geothermal well
productivity
• Plant design (District heating and house
cooling on demand, cascade direct use)
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
Dipartimento Terra e Ambiente
Preliminary Conclusions
 lateral continuity at depth of mesozoic carbonates;
 homogeneous gradient of temperature (about 10°C/km) and
a temperature increasing moving away from the carbonate
outcrops (30-40 ° up to 100 °C)
 altitudes of recharge and water residence times in the aquifer
suggest the presence of wide circulation systems
 the main recharge areas of the geothermal system were
identified
 Based on all these information, a W-Sicily regional scale
reservoir could be depicted
Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche
Dipartimento Terra e Ambiente
Preliminary Conclusions
• In the Mazara del Vallo area a resource with a
temperature of about 100°C can be expected at depths
between 1200 and 2000 m b.g.l.
