Direct Utilities of Geothermal Energy Potential in Pangi Area of Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Based on Geophysical Analysis.
Pangi Geothermal research team.
Pangi is one of the areas in Bone Bolango Regency of Gorontalo which is have a geothermal manifestation point such as hot springswith surface temperature of 47-56°C. Geothermal manifestation here is not utilize yet. The purpose of this research is to use geophysicalanalysis of the electrical cross section of resistivity using Schlumberger configuration and Wenner configuration to design the utilities of geothermal energy in Pangi’s geothermal areas. The surface data gather in the field that is about the geothermal manifestation data. The subsurface data gather by using the resistivity meter with Schlumberger configuration as sounding and Wenner configuration as mapping that focus on the manifestation point. Processing data use IPI2win and Res2dinv software. The result show that there is 7 layers type of lithology which are Alluvial, Sand, Clay, Volcanic Breccia, Andesite, Granodiorite, and DioritePorphyry. The cap rock layer of Pangi’s geothermal areas is an Alluvial and the reservoir layer is aSand layer. Pangi’s geothermal manifestation is potential for the direct use in agriculture sectors, aquaculture sectors, and in the medical sectors.
