APPLICATION OF GEOTHERMOMETERS IN THERMAL RESERVOIRS

Geothermometers are based on the assumption that specific temperature dependent mineral/solute equilibria are attained in geothermal reservoirs. For a particular geothermometer this involves specific chemical components analysed in geothermal water. In this paper is presented a classification of geothermometers. According to different types of geothermometers it was possible to estimate the subsurface temperature of Romanian thermal reservoirs in western part of the country.
