Regional geological setting (Geological Map of Italy-ISPRA, 2011) Regional geological setting (Structural model of Italy, 1992) (Catalano et al., 2002) Heat flow map of Sicily (mW/m2) Deep meteoric water infiltration Low temperature convective/advective systems Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Dipartimento Terra e Ambiente (after Della Vedova et al. 2001) 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) Mazara del Vallo Fancelli et al., 1991 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.

The thermal spring drains a groundwater regional flow which is fed Based on the local “δ18O‰ – altitude” relationship (by Fancelli et al., 1991) such value also fromancarbonate outcrops external the Magaggiaro area. indicate average altitude of infiltration higherof than 600Mt. m a.s.l. Moreover the tritium value of 0.0 TU (err. ± 0.4) analyzed by Fancelli et al. (1991) indicates an average residence time of groundwater longer than 50 years Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Dipartimento Terra e Ambiente 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) Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Dipartimento Terra e Ambiente 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.
