Reducing carbon, nitrogen and sulfur emissions is of great significance. Geothermal energy is a renewable and clean energy source that does not emit nitrogen oxides. Moreover, geothermal energy resources are abundant, and the dry hot rock resources alone are expected to become a replacement energy source, making the prospect of resource exploration very broad.
[0003] The formation mechanism of hot dry rocks is more complex, and their resource distribution is extremely uneven. Geothermal resource assessment is a standard practice in the geothermal industry for evaluating geothermal systems and their potential power generation capacity, playing a crucial role in quantifying the thermal energy available for power generation or direct use. The success of geothermal development projects depends on accurate resource assessment methods, which play a pivotal role in decision-making, financing, development, and operation of geothermal projects. However, in the assessment of hot dry rock resources, current research mainly focuses on the static spatial distribution of heat, without considering the dynamic replenishment and loss of underground heat sources. Research on the dynamic evolution of heat in hot dry rocks and its controlling factors is still in its early stages. The assessment of comprehensive geothermal systems, including heat, reservoir, and infiltration, needs further exploration. Therefore, the accuracy of hot dry rock resource assessment needs to be improved.

[0050] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0051] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0052] This invention provides a method for evaluating the quantity of hot dry rock resources, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the first embodiment of the method for evaluating the quantity of hot dry rock resources according to the present invention.
[0053] In this embodiment, the method for evaluating the quantity of hot dry rock resources includes steps S10 to S40:
[0054] Step S10: Establish a three-dimensional geological model of the target area based on geological data information of the target area.
[0055] It should be noted that the executing entity in this embodiment can be a computer server device with data processing, network communication, and program execution functions applied in geothermal resource exploration scenarios, such as a personal computer, laptop, mobile phone, smartwatch, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a dry hot rock resource assessment device, etc. The following uses a dry hot rock resource assessment device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the subsequent embodiments.
[0056] It should be understood that the aforementioned target areas can be selected after comprehensively analyzing information from multiple aspects such as geological conditions, physical exploration, remote sensing technology, and geological surveys, and assessing the resource potential and exploration risks of each area based on the analysis results.
[0057] It should be explained that the geological data mentioned above may include, but is not limited to, information on the depth of the heat source, the volume of the heat source, the thickness of the strata, and the morphology of the strata.
[0058] It should be noted that a regional 3D geological model is a 3D model that utilizes computer technology to combine tools such as spatial information management, geological interpretation, spatial analysis and prediction, geoscientific statistics, entity content analysis, and graphical visualization in a 3D environment for geological analysis. This type of model can comprehensively describe the geological conditions of a target area, providing a scientific basis for various geological and engineering activities.
[0059] In practice, geological exploration and investigation can be carried out on the target area to collect geological data. Then, based on the research objectives and geological data, the boundary range of the model is determined, important fault planes are identified, and the stratigraphic planes are modeled. Stratigraphic interfaces are identified and fitted, stratigraphic thickness is estimated, and the stratification points are corrected to ensure the accuracy and smoothness of the stratigraphic planes. Finally, based on the stratigraphic plane model and macroscopic topological relationships, a closed geological body is generated, and the establishment of a three-dimensional geological model of the region is completed.
[0060] Step S20: Establish the transient heat transfer equation and determine the boundary conditions of the three-dimensional geological model of the target area based on the replenishment and loss information of the dry hot rock in the target area.
[0061] It should be noted that the steps for establishing the transient heat transfer equation include S201 to S204:
[0062] Step S201: Determine the micro-element control volume, and when a temperature gradient exists in the micro-element control volume, determine the thermal conductivity rate of each control surface in the micro-element control volume and the amount of energy generated within the micro-element control volume.
[0063] In practical implementation, a micro-element control volume dxdydz can be identified. When a temperature gradient exists within this micro-element control volume, heat conduction will occur at each control surface within the volume. Let q be the heat conduction rate perpendicular to the coordinate positions x, y, and z, and the heat conduction rate of each control surface. x q y q z By using Taylor series expansion and neglecting higher-order terms, the thermal conductivity of each control surface can be obtained as follows:
[0064]
[0065] It should be noted that if there is continuous heat generation inside the rock within the micro-element control volume, then the amount of energy generated within the micro-element control volume is determined. It can be represented as:
[0066]
[0067] In the formula, The power generation rate is expressed in watts per cubic meter (W / m³). 3 .
[0068] Step S202: If the micro-element control volume is under unsteady-state conditions, then determine the total thermal energy stored in the micro-element control volume based on the density and specific heat capacity of the micro-element control volume.
[0069] It should be understood that if the micro-element control volume is under non-steady-state conditions, the total thermal energy stored within the micro-element control volume will also change, and the total stored thermal energy will... It can be represented as:
[0070]
[0071] In the formula, ρ is density, and c p t represents specific heat capacity, T represents temperature, and t represents time.
[0072] Step S203: Establish an energy conservation equation based on the energy generated within the micro-element control volume and the total thermal energy stored within the micro-element control volume.
[0073] It should be noted that the energy conservation equation is: In the formula, and Let represent the energy supplied and the energy lost, respectively, which can be represented by the thermal conductivity rate. Rearranging the energy conservation equation yields the initial equation:
[0074]
[0075] Step S204: Determine the transient heat transfer equation using the thermal conductivity of each control surface in the micro-element control volume and the energy conservation equation.
[0076] It should be noted that the thermal conductivity rate of each control surface in the micro-element control volume can be calculated using the Fourier equation, yielding a modified formula for the thermal conductivity rate:
[0077]
[0078] In the formula, k effx k effy k effz These represent the effective thermal conductivity in the x, y, and z directions, respectively.
[0079] Substituting the modified formula for thermal conductivity into the initial equation, we obtain the first transient heat transfer equation:
[0080]
[0081] It should be noted that this first transient heat transfer equation provides a fundamental method for analyzing heat conduction processes, from which the temperature field distribution T(t,x,y,z) at different times can be obtained. Its simplified form is often used; if the thermal conductivity is constant and anisotropic, it simplifies to the second transient heat transfer equation:
[0082]
[0083] In the formula, α is the thermal diffusivity.
[0084] Will Substituting into the second transient heat transfer equation, where k eff To obtain the effective thermal conductivity, the second transient heat transfer equation can be simplified to:
[0085]
[0086] It should be noted that, It is the gradient operator, where q is the heat flux density (heat flux) vector. Since the heat flux density gradient is used, the simplified second transient heat transfer equation described above is the final transient heat transfer equation:
[0087]
[0088] It should be explained that the above transient heat transfer equation can be used to calculate the whole-area temperature field (i.e., temperature distribution) of the target region.
[0089] Step S30: Based on the boundary conditions and the transient heat transfer equation, numerical simulation is carried out using the finite element method to obtain simulation results.
[0090] It should be noted that the boundary conditions include magma chamber temperature, geothermal heat flow value, rock radioactive heat generation rate, and surface temperature.
[0091] It is understood that in this embodiment, the magma chamber temperature can be determined by geological data, the geothermal flow value can be the average geothermal flow value of the basin, the rock emissivity of heat generation can be determined by experimental testing, and the surface temperature can be the average surface temperature in recent years.
[0092] In a specific implementation, the magma chamber temperature, the geothermal heat flow value, the rock radioactive heat generation rate, the surface temperature, the transient heat transfer equation, and the magma chamber formation time can be obtained. The magma chamber formation time is used as the simulation time for numerical simulation, and the magma chamber temperature, the geothermal heat flow value, the rock radioactive heat generation rate, and the surface temperature are used as simulation boundary conditions. Within the simulation time, the finite element method is used to conduct numerical simulation based on the transient heat transfer equation and the simulation boundary conditions to obtain simulation results.
[0093] Step S40: Select a hot dry rock reservoir from the simulation results and evaluate the hot dry rock resource quantity of the hot dry rock reservoir using the adaptive thermal reservoir volume method.
[0094] It should be noted that, according to the preset hot dry rock assessment requirements, strata with temperatures higher than a preset temperature threshold and depths less than a preset depth threshold can be selected from the simulation results as hot dry rock reservoirs.
[0095] The dry hot rock resource quantity of the dry hot rock reservoir is evaluated using the target formula corresponding to the adaptive thermal reservoir volume method.
[0096] The target formula is:
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, E represents the amount of hot dry rock resources, n is the number of micro-elements, and V n For the volume of the micro-element rock mass, ρ n For density, c n For specific heat capacity, T n T represents the temperature of the rock. r The reference temperature is the average surface temperature.
[0099] In this embodiment, strata with a temperature higher than 180°C and a depth of less than 10 km can be selected from the simulation results as hot dry rock reservoirs.
[0100] This embodiment discloses the establishment of a regional three-dimensional geological model based on geological data of a target area; the establishment of a transient heat transfer equation; and the determination of the boundary conditions of the regional three-dimensional geological model based on the recharge and loss information of hot dry rocks in the target area. Based on the boundary conditions and the transient heat transfer equation, numerical simulation is carried out using the finite element method to obtain simulation results. Hot dry rock reservoirs are selected from the simulation results, and the hot dry rock resource quantity of the hot dry rock reservoirs is evaluated using the adaptive reservoir volume method. Since this embodiment determines the boundary conditions of the regional three-dimensional geological model based on the recharge and loss information of hot dry rocks in the target area, then conducts numerical simulation using the finite element method based on the boundary conditions and the transient heat transfer equation, and finally evaluates the hot dry rock resource quantity of the hot dry rock reservoirs selected from the simulation results using the adaptive reservoir volume method, compared with the prior art, this embodiment effectively improves the accuracy of hot dry rock resource quantity assessment.
[0101] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the method for evaluating the quantity of hot dry rock resources according to the present invention.
[0102] Based on the first embodiment described above, in this embodiment, step S10 includes steps S101 to S104:
[0103] Step S101: Based on the structural morphology and reservoir distribution information of the target area, select model construction software to establish an initial geological model.
[0104] Step S102: Based on the initial geological model, establish a three-dimensional geological model of the region according to the heat source depth information, heat source volume information, stratum thickness information and stratum morphology information of the target area.
[0105] Step S103: After the three-dimensional geological model of the area is established, the stratigraphic interface is generated using the contour data file.
[0106] Step S104: Based on the contour data of the top and bottom interfaces of different strata in the stratigraphic interface, establish parametric surfaces of the top surfaces of different strata respectively, and generate a regional three-dimensional geological model containing the top surfaces of the strata.
[0107] It should be noted that a contour data file is a collection of information containing the data required for contour line generation. This data is typically used in fields such as geography, meteorology, and geology to visualize terrain, weather patterns, geological features, etc.
[0108] It should be understood that generating stratigraphic interfaces using contour data files offers advantages such as intuitiveness, accuracy, and flexibility. For example, referencing... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a regional three-dimensional geological model in the method for evaluating the amount of hot dry rock resources presented in this invention. The magma chamber is an important geological structural feature. A magma chamber is a storage space for underground magma, typically located within the Earth's crust, and consists of a mixture of solid (crystals) and liquid (melt). It is a relatively closed system within which magma can be stored, cooled, and crystallized for extended periods. Information regarding the morphology, size, distribution, and partial melting state of the magma chamber is crucial for assessing the potential risks of volcanic activity, the development and utilization of geothermal resources, and the exploration of mineral resources.
[0109] This embodiment discloses a method for establishing an initial geological model using model construction software based on the structural morphology and reservoir distribution information of the target area. Based on this initial geological model, a regional three-dimensional geological model is established using the heat source depth, heat source volume, stratigraphic thickness, and stratigraphic morphology information of the target area. After the regional three-dimensional geological model is established, stratigraphic interfaces are generated using contour data files. Based on the contour data of different stratigraphic top and bottom interfaces within the stratigraphic interfaces, parametric surfaces of different stratigraphic top surfaces are established, generating a regional three-dimensional geological model containing the stratigraphic top surfaces. Compared to existing technologies, this embodiment improves the accuracy and flexibility of the regional three-dimensional geological model, thereby increasing the accuracy of evaluating the dry hot rock resource quantity of dry hot rock reservoirs based on the regional three-dimensional geological model.
[0110] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the third embodiment of the method for evaluating the quantity of hot dry rock resources according to the present invention.
[0111] Based on the above embodiments, in this embodiment, after step S10, steps S105 to S107 are further included:
[0112] Step S105: Determine the thermal reservoir information, caprock distribution pattern information, heat source distribution pattern information, target thermal fluid information, and heat transfer channel information of the target area based on the three-dimensional geological model of the area.
[0113] Step S106: Obtain the thermal parameters of the target area and assign the thermal parameters to different geological bodies in the three-dimensional geological model of the area. The thermal parameters include the thermal conductivity, density and specific heat capacity of the strata.
[0114] Step S107: Based on the thermal reservoir information, caprock distribution pattern information, heat source distribution pattern information, target thermal fluid information, and heat transfer channel information of the target area, determine the replenishment and dissipation information of the dry hot rock in the target area.
[0115] It should be noted that the replenishment information of the dry hot rock in the target area includes at least one of magma heat release information, terrestrial heat flow information, and radioactive heat generation information, and the loss information of the dry hot rock in the target area includes surface heat dissipation information.
[0116] This embodiment discloses the following steps: establishing a three-dimensional geological model of a target area based on geological data; determining the geothermal reservoir information, caprock distribution pattern, heat source distribution pattern, target thermal fluid information, and heat transfer channel information of the target area based on the three-dimensional geological model; acquiring thermal parameters of the target area and assigning these parameters to different geological bodies in the three-dimensional geological model, the thermal parameters including formation thermal conductivity, density, and specific heat capacity; determining the recharge and loss information of hot dry rocks in the target area based on the geothermal reservoir information, caprock distribution pattern, heat source distribution pattern, target thermal fluid information, and heat transfer channel information; establishing a transient heat transfer equation and determining the boundary conditions of the three-dimensional geological model based on the recharge and loss information of hot dry rocks in the target area; conducting numerical simulation using the finite element method based on the boundary conditions and the transient heat transfer equation to obtain simulation results; selecting hot dry rock reservoirs from the simulation results and evaluating the hot dry rock resource quantity of the hot dry rock reservoirs using the adaptive geothermal reservoir volume method. Because this embodiment establishes a regional three-dimensional geological model based on geological data, assigns heat transfer parameters to the geological body, and conducts finite element simulation based on transient heat transfer equations to consider heat loss and replenishment, it effectively improves the accuracy of assessing the amount of dry hot rock resources, thereby providing scientific guidance for geothermal energy exploration and development.
[0117] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also proposes a storage medium storing a hot dry rock resource quantity evaluation program, which, when executed by a processor, implements the steps of the hot dry rock resource quantity evaluation method described above.
