Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of enhanced geothermal system development, and in particular relates to a method for calculating the expansion behavior of hydraulic fracturing cracks in hot dry rocks. Background Art

[0002] Hot dry rock geothermal resources refer to abnormally high-temperature rock masses buried deep in the earth with no or only a small amount of fluid inside and a temperature above 180°C. It is a green and clean energy source. The heat stored in hot dry rocks needs to be transformed into heat reservoirs through hydraulic fracturing technology to improve the permeability of the heat reservoirs, thereby forming an enhanced geothermal system to develop hot dry rock geothermal resources.

[0003] Enhanced geothermal systems usually use a pumping well and an injection well to develop hot dry rock geothermal resources. The distance between the pumping and injection wells affects the economic benefits of the enhanced geothermal system. If the distance between the pumping and injection wells is too small, the heat exchange path is short and the heat exchange efficiency is low; if the distance between the pumping and injection wells is too large, the two wells cannot be effectively connected, and geothermal resources cannot be developed. Therefore, accurate calculation of hydraulic fracturing fracture expansion behavior is of great significance for the design of pumping and injection wells in enhanced geothermal systems.

[0004] The existing method for calculating hydraulic fracturing cracks mainly uses microseismic event inversion to calculate the influence range of cracks. However, microseismic events can only be used to invert whether the rock mass has been fractured, but cannot reflect whether the cracks are connected to form effective cracks. Therefore, a method for calculating the expansion behavior of hydraulic fracturing cracks that can calculate hydraulic connectivity is urgently needed. Summary of the invention

[0005] Purpose of the invention: The method for calculating the expansion behavior of hydraulic fracturing cracks in hot dry rocks proposed in this patent generalizes the hydraulic fractures into elliptical smooth water-conducting fractures on a two-dimensional plane, calculates the shape parameters of the ellipse based on the physical and mechanical parameters of the hot dry rock mass, calculates the expansion range of the fracture based on the wellhead pressure and water injection volume during the fracturing process, considers the internal resistance of the fracture itself on the basis of the existing method for calculating the half-length of the fracture, calculates the permeability coefficient of the fracture based on the fracture width, and calculates the fracture length through an iterative method, thereby calculating the expansion behavior of the hydraulic fracturing fracture. The calculation method is fast and accurate.
