Abstract:Setting exploration of geothermal project in Feixian County as an example, from the aspects of principle, from the aspects of field working method, data processing, the controlled source audio frequency magnetotelluric method (CSAMT method) has been introduced in detail. The effect for searching water, advantages and disadvantages of the method have been analyzed and evaluated. The method has the advantages of large detection depth, high vertical resolution and high efficiency, and the resistivity cross section can be truly reflected by the data processing. The geothermal resources in Feixian County has been explored by using controlled source audio magnetotelluric method. Through field investigation, combining with hydrogeological data analysis and the origin of geothermal sourecs, tectonic location, occurrence, size and depth of exploration area have been identified. It will provide the basis for the development of geothermal resources exploration.
