Method of improving heat exchanging efficiency after fracturing of dry hot rock

Abstract

The invention discloses a method of improving the heat exchanging efficiency after fracturing of dry hot rock, and belongs to the field of geothermal energy development. According to the method, a single well fracturing technology is used; high temperature resistant heat-conducting cement is poured into the hydraulic fracturing position of dry hot rock reservoirs, so that sheeted fissure in the hydraulic fracturing near-well area are closed, and only fissure in the far-well area are reserved. The purposes of improving the flowing path of heat carrying fluid and improving the heat exchanging efficiency are achieved. Distribution and arrangement of upper circulating holes and lower circulating holes can enlarge the flowing area of the heat carrying fluid to a maximum extent, and promote heatexchanging of the heat carrying fluid and the dry hot rock reservoirs. Under the action of ground suction force, the heat carrying fluid passes through the upper circulating holes, fissures producedby fracturing, the lower circulating holes and heat insulation oil pipes and then returns to the ground, in this way, the heat exchanging efficiency after fracturing of the dry hot rock can also be improved. Though application of the single well technology and the method of improving the heat exchanging efficiency after fracturing of the dry hot rock, the dry hot rock development cost can be reduced, environmental destruction can be reduced, and the single well fracturing technology and the method of improving the heat exchanging efficiency after fracturing of the dry hot rock play a positiverole in widespread use of geothermal energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of geothermal energy development, in particular to a method for improving heat exchange efficiency after hot dry rock fracturing. Background technique [0002] Under the background of global energy consumption gradually becoming clean and renewable, geothermal energy has become a popular new energy source. Geothermal energy is widely distributed and easy to develop and utilize. It is an excellent renewable energy source and has a good utilization prospect. Hot dry rock is a hot rock mass without water or steam that exists deep in the formation. It is generally buried 3-10km below the surface and has a temperature range of 150-650°C. It is an important part of geothermal energy resources. [0003] The method of obtaining thermal energy in hot dry rock is usually called enhanced geothermal system, which is an engineering technology to extract economically valuable geothermal resources from hot dry rock through deep dri...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the complex structure of underground rock mass and the lack of practical monitoring methods, it is often difficult to fully control the distribution and number of fractures in hydraulic fracturing.
