Abraham, E. M., Lawal, K. M
Lawal, A. A.
The Ikogosi Warm Spring area is characterized by superficial thermal manifestation represented by the warm spring with temperature of 38°C average. This work elucidates the geothermal energy resources and delineates the structural setting of the area using geophysical interpretation techniques. Interpretation of aeromagnetic data indicates that the warm spring source is structurally controlled. The calculated average Curie point depth and geothermal gradient values for the area are 5.8km and 112°C/km respectively. Generally, the results indicate that the Ikogosi Warm Spring area holds promising prospects for geothermal exploration.
