اكتشاف ذخاير زمين گرمايي در منطقه خوي با استفاده از روش مگنتوتلوريك

We have used magnetotelluric equipment to investigate the possibility of an existing geothermal reservoir in an area close to the city of Khoy located in the north-west of Iran. Data of 60 stations were collected in this area of about 30 square kilometers. To perform the data processing procedure, we used a computer program called PROCMT, and for in interpretation of available data a computer program called GEOTOOLS was used. We recognized an east- west trend for the observed anomalies in this area. In two dimensional modeling of north-south profiles using rapid relaxation inversion (RRI) on TE and TM, low resistivity anomalies were found at a depth of 500 to 2000 meters.
