The Caidian area in western Wuhan possesses abundant geothermal resources, with the heat source being the conductive heat from the earth's interior, primarily stored in the Paleozoic carbonate reservoir. Due to the limitations of various geophysical exploration methods in central Wuhan, the previous petroleum exploration and hydrological data from the Jianghan Oilfield were fully utilized. Combined with the data from the successful drilling of the Suohe1 geothermal well in April 2021, it is analyzed and concluded that the structural framework for heat and water storage in the Caidian area is mainly dominated by anticline structures and the thermal and water transmission channel is mainly fault. The main controlling factors of geothermal resources in the Caidian area are faults and Paleozoic carbonate karst reservoirs,and the karst reservoirs are moderately buried, indicating a good prospect for geothermal resource development. The favorable exploration target of geothermal resources in the Caidian area is various anticline structures associated with deep and large fault.
