| Abstract | In the paper, the deep borehole Sosnowiec IG 1 testing for geothermal reasons is proposed. The Devonian - Carboniferous megacomplex of carbonate rocks at the depth interval between 1690 - 3144 m was drilled and the temperature of 98oC in the deepest part was ascertained. This megacomplex is thought to be perspective for geothermy because of temperature and collector properties that would be also improved during acidizing process. Thermal energy is used to be exploited by two different methods: geothermal doublet and uniborehole with geothermal Field exchanger. If the results are satisfied enough, geothermal waters explorations could be conducted in the whole Main Saddle zone and the south flanke of it in front of the Forecarpathian overthrust. |
