| Abstract | The paper presents a preliminary analysis of 6 from among 28 selected boreholes located in the Stargard-Radęcin area of the Szczecin Through region. The analyses are focused mainly on the possibilities of the use of the area for the production of heat or for medical, therapeutic or balneotherapy purposes. The article also presents a detailed analysis of the geological, petro-physical, and chemical analysis of groundwater from 2 boreholes, performed on the basis of archival information from the National Geological Archives (NGA). The most important factors influencing the ability to exploit groundwater for heating or for medical, therapeutic or balneotherapy purposes were pointed out. The paper also indicates the main factors affecting the profitability of geothermal investments in Poland. |
