The traditional temperature-pressure field analysis method relies heavily on the interpolation of existing borehole data, which fails to accurately characterize the coupled seepage-heat transfer processes in geothermal systems. This limitation hinder comprehensive understanding of geothermal resources formation mechanisms.
To address these issues, we constructed a three-dimensional geological model of the Zhangye Basin by integrating multisource datasets (borehole information, geophysical data, and digital elevation model). Our integrated approach enhanced the resolution of inter-well stratigraphic correlation by 50–300 m compared to conventional methods. Numerical simulations of coupled seepage-thermal process revealed that multi-physical-field coupling analysis (incorporating both temperature and pressure fields) outperforms traditional key-node spatial interpolation approach in reliability. The results show hydraulic head gradient decreased from the southeastern to the northwestern discharge area, and northeastward heat depletion patterns are due to reservoir shallowing and caprock thinning. The maximum temperatures of 78℃ occurs at the basin center with peripheral cooling effects. A three-dimensional geothermal conceptual model was subsequently developed, synthesizing structural, hydrogeological, and thermal geological constraints.
Coupling this model with heat-flux simulations demonstrated, our study demonstrate that it could provide more realiable interpretation of the northwestward groundwater migration and the Rhombic-lobate spatial distribution of the geothermal anomalies.These findings provide a theoretical framework for targeting high-enthalpy geothermal reservoirs and optimizing sustainable exploitation strategies.
