Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rock fracture seepage and resistivity test, in particular to a device and method for measuring fracture seepage resistivity of dense rock under high temperature and high pressure conditions. BACKGROUND

[0002] Dry hot rock geothermal resources (temperature greater than 180℃) is a typical clean energy, which has a wide distribution range, stable operation and huge reserves, and has a high utilization value. Developing dry hot rock geothermal resources needs to establish an enhanced geothermal system (EGS), which uses the almost constant temperature of deep underground to heat the low-temperature fluid injected into the system and then extracts the high-temperature fluid from the underground to generate electricity for extracting geothermal energy. Establishing an enhanced geothermal system requires hydraulic fracturing of the dry hot rock reservoir to create an artificial fracture network to increase the permeability of the reservoir. The permeability of the reservoir directly affects the operation efficiency and service life of the system, so how to evaluate the permeability of the modified reservoir is one of the key problems in geothermal development. Because the resistivity of rock mass is sensitive to the fluid seepage contained therein, the permeability and resistivity characteristics of rock mass are consistent, and there have been a large number of studies on the relationship between rock resistivity and oil and gas permeability in the field of oil and gas. However, the rocks in the oil and gas field are mostly high-porosity sandstones without fractures, and the temperature and pressure of the oil and gas reservoir are relatively low, while the dry hot rock is a dense granite with very small porosity in a high temperature and high pressure environment.

[0003] In the study of dry hot rock, the key factor affecting the resistivity of rock is no longer porosity, but macroscopic fractures contained in the rock mass. At present, most of the instruments for measuring the resistivity of rock seepage are instruments for measuring the resistivity of rock seepage by gas or other fluids through rock porosity, and there are few instruments for measuring the resistivity of rock seepage.
