Abstract
To meet the constantly growing energy demand and simultaneously prevent global climate changes, the modern economy is looking for an effective solution aimed at obtaining electricity and heat. The source that holds tremendous energetic potential which might be a supportive or substitute for fossil fuels is geothermal energy. It is not only an ecological and sustainable source of energy, but it is also available almost all over the world. The use of geothermal energy is inextricably linked with the costly drilling work. However, in many cases, an alternative solution might be to use already existing mining infrastructure, including abandoned oil and gas wells. In Poland, a country endowed with lowtemperature geothermal resources, there are thousands of unused petroleum, exploratory and/or negative wells that under specific circumstances could be managed as geothermal ones. The Carpathian Foredeep is one out of four geothermal provinces in Poland, namely, the Fore-Carpathian Province. It is characterised by geothermal waters with temperatures varied from 20°C to even 120°C, however, the wells’ discharges are relatively low (except Cenomanian formation), on average less than 20m3/h. Generally, the Carpathian Foredeep is prospective in case of using geothermal energy and water, however, favourable conditions occur locally depending on geological settings, well’s depth, reservoir, thermal and chemical parameters. Simultaneously, the Carpathian Foredeep belongs to the second biggest petroleum province in Poland, the Carpathian Province. The natural gas resources are connected predominantly with the autochthonous Miocene formation which at the same time constitutes a minor reservoir for oil deposits. Due to the longlasting exploitation of oil and gas resources, the Polish part of the Carpathian Foredeep is relatively well recognised and abundant with numerous wells either abandoned, negative or still operating. This enables the searching for the most promising locations in respect of the availability of geothermal energy resources while possibly rendering old unused wells to successful geothermal ones.
