Cardoso, Hamza and Alfaro Figure 6a: Resource base for the soft sediment layer. The dots indicate localities of geothermal areas. Figure 6b: Resource base for the hard sediment layer. The dots indicate locations of geothermal areas. Figure 6c: Resource base for the upper crustal layer. The dots indicate locations of geothermal areas. 5. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Unlike previous studies the results obtained in the present work have lead to assessments of resources that incorporate not only borehole temperature and heat flow data but also available information on structure and physical properties of the crustal layers. There are indications that this procedure has lead to improvements in our understanding of the spatial distribution of both low and high enthalpy geothermal resources in the South American continent. In particular, it is now possible to understand better the relations between and the crustal layer of origin of surface manifestations of geothermal fluids and the resource base in geothermal areas. Another important point emerging from the results of the present work is that high enthalpy resources in the western parts of the continent are almost all of deep crustal origin while low enthalpy resources in the eastern parts of the continent are almost all of shallow crustal origin. We have provided so far separate resource estimates for the main layers in the upper parts of the crust. It is possible to combine these individual contributions to the resource base in obtaining estimates of total resource base. Results of such an attempt are presented in the map of Figure (7). Note that maximum value of the integrated resource base is 10000 TJ. This value is significantly different from that obtained in previous studies. Figure (7) Map of total resource base referred to the maximum depth limit of 3km. 6. ACKNOLEDGEMENTS The present work was carried out as part of a research project for investigating thermal isostasy in southeast Brazil, with funding from Fundação Amparo á Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro – FAPERJ (Grant No. E- 26/100.623/2007 – Bolsa), under the program ́Scientist of the state of Rio de Janeiro ́.
