Geochemical criterions and prospects of searching thermal waters of Caspian-Guba area Mesozoic deposits

S.Sh. Salahov

In the Caspian-Guba area are met the fresh, thermal, mineral waters having industrial value. According to the searching and exploration results of industrial thermal waters in the Khudat upheaval the temperature in the head of well No 112 (Middle Jurassic) and wells No 116 (upper Cretaceous) reaches up to 82-86 0 C. High rate of recovery and the temperature of these wells allow to use thermal waters in heat power needs in Khudat and Khachmaz. Thermal waters of Mesozoic deposits of the Caspian-Guba area are perspective in structures of Khudat and Khachmaz upheavals. In Yalama-Gusar zone the search and exploration of thermal waters have shown that this territory of republic is not so perspective for the organization of large-scale extraction of geothermal waters. According to the results of these surveys were obtained two kinds of thermal waters with methane and azote content.
