[0026] Among them, hot dry rock (HDR) refers to high-temperature rock that is buried thousands of meters deep in the earth, contains no or only a small amount of fluid, has a temperature higher than 180°C, and has certain development value.

[0027] The exploration target area in the embodiment of the present invention, i.e., the hot dry rock resource exploration target area (HDR explorationtarget area), refers to an area where, based on the hot dry rock survey in the region and key areas, appropriate exploration methods are selected in a goal-oriented, problem-oriented and result-oriented manner to further conduct detailed investigation of geothermal geological conditions according to the needs of hot dry rock development and utilization.

[0028] Conduct a hot dry rock development survey on the exploration target area to determine the seismic geological hazard characteristics and hot dry rock development conditions of the exploration target area to evaluate whether the exploration target area is suitable for hot dry rock development. Exemplarily, the hot dry rock development survey on the exploration target area may include a hot dry rock development geological safety survey and a hot dry rock development and utilization conditions survey. Among them, the hot dry rock development geological safety survey is used to determine the seismic geological hazard characteristics of the exploration target area, and the hot dry rock development and utilization conditions survey is used to determine the hot dry rock development conditions of the exploration target area.

[0029] As an example, the scope of geological safety investigation for hot dry rock development should be no less than the project site and its extension of 25km. It should be carried out on the basis of geological investigation combined with earthquake geology. The main investigation tasks may include: 1) Determine the characteristics of historical earthquakes. For example, collect historical earthquake data within a radius of 150km from the exploration target area, including historical earthquake catalogs, focal mechanisms, historical earthquake intensities, proportions of buildings destroyed by historical earthquakes, seismogenic structures, etc., draw historical earthquake isoseismal lines, and determine the attenuation relationship of earthquake intensity.

The survey accuracy and methods should comply with the provisions of the "Code for Geological Hazard Risk Assessment" (GB / T 40112-2021).

[0032] 4) Survey on seismic fortification capacity of buildings. For example, a sampling survey on seismic fortification capacity of buildings, major infrastructure and lifeline projects within 25km of the development site, including urban standard buildings, major infrastructure and lifeline projects, is conducted, with a sampling rate of 4%. A detailed survey is conducted on each building within 5km of the development site and within 100m on both sides of the unstable fault. The survey and evaluation methods can refer to the relevant seismic fortification capacity survey, and the survey can refer to GBT 19428-2014.

[0033] 5) Survey of lifeline projects. Among them, lifeline projects mainly include water supply and drainage system projects, power, gas and oil pipeline and other energy supply system projects, telephone and radio and television and other information communication system projects, large medical system projects and highway, railway and other transportation system projects, etc. The survey of lifeline projects can be carried out by field investigation and data collection, and the questionnaire is filled out.

[0034] The survey contents of the hot dry rock development and utilization conditions survey mainly include: 1) Engineering development conditions survey.

The survey content and technical methods must meet the requirements of the "Technical Requirements for Engineering Geological Surveys" (DD 2019-06) and the "Technical Guidelines for Environmental Impact Assessment - Groundwater Environment" (HJ 610-2016).

[0035] 2) Survey of resource utilization conditions. For example, a regional hot dry rock resource demand survey is conducted, including resource demand and demand methods, such as power generation, greenhouses, heating, etc., to meet the multi-level and multi-objective comprehensive utilization of hot dry rock resources. The survey content and technical methods must meet the relevant provisions of the "Geothermal Resources Geological Exploration Specification" (GBT11615-2010), and the specific development data utilization conditions involving hot dry rock heat storage characteristics, exploitable resources, and power generation must meet the relevant requirements of this regulation.

[0036] 3) Infrastructure condition survey. For example, conduct an infrastructure condition survey for the target development site, including the current land use status, site construction conditions, water source security, power generation grid connection conditions and other existing infrastructure conditions, determine the initial investment cost of the development site, and determine the feasible conditions for the early stage of development.

[0037] Optionally, the earthquake geological disaster characteristics include at least one of historical earthquake characteristics, fault activity characteristics, geological disaster types and levels, building seismic fortification capabilities, and the current status of lifeline projects.

[0038] Optionally, the hot dry rock development conditions include at least one of hot dry rock engineering development conditions, hot dry rock resource utilization conditions and infrastructure conditions.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present invention, in addition to conducting a hot dry rock development survey on the exploration target area, a remote sensing geological survey can also be conducted on the exploration target area to determine the geological characteristics of the hot dry rocks in the exploration target area.

[0041] Among them, remote sensing geological survey is mainly used in the early stage of hot dry rock geological exploration, mainly based on the interpretation of medium and high resolution visible light and thermal infrared images. The interpretation results need to be verified by field routes and verified with ground surveys, geophysical and chemical exploration, drilling and other work. In the pre-research stage, the preliminary interpretation is completed to provide a basis and work direction for further hot dry rock geological surveys, and to provide basic data for the preparation of pre-maps and design survey plans; in the implementation of geothermal geological mapping, detailed interpretation is completed to enrich the ground hot dry rock geological survey work and verify the interpretation results and understanding.

[0042] For example, in the process of remote sensing geological survey of the exploration target area, the following hot dry rock geological problems can be identified and interpreted through the medium- and high-resolution visible light and thermal infrared images of the latest aerial and satellite images, and when necessary, hyperspectral image interpretation: 1) Identify the basic outlines of geological structures, active faults and concealed structures, especially active faults, signs of uplift and erosion activities, and zones with dense joints and fissures.

[0043] 2) Identify the topographic and geomorphic features of the study area, with a focus on Quaternary geomorphology.

[0044] 3) Identify the spatial distribution of intrusive bodies such as veins and dykes of different lithologies and contact boundaries, with a focus on igneous rocks related to hot dry rock heat sources.

[0045] 4) Identify areas of abnormal surface temperature, the location and range of surface thermal displays such as ground springs, spring groups, geothermal overflow zones, and hydrothermal alteration zones, and infer hidden structures.

[0046] 5) Determine the correlation between regional deep faults and surface thermal anomalies.

[0047] 6) Identify land cover information related to hot dry rock development environments, such as settlements, important facilities, and geological hazards.

[0048] It should be noted that medium to high-resolution visible light, thermal infrared, hyperspectral and other satellite or aerial images can be selected according to the scale of general survey areas, key areas, exploration target areas and development target areas. The image quality, data processing and interpretation accuracy must meet the other technical requirements of the remote sensing image products and remote sensing technology industry standards, and refer to DZ / T 0151 for implementation.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, geothermal geological surveys can also be conducted on the exploration target area based on the arranged observation points and observation routes to determine the hot dry rock geothermal geological characteristics of the exploration target area. Among them, the observation points and observation routes can be determined based on the topography and landforms, geological body boundaries, etc. of the exploration target area. Exemplarily, the observation route should focus on controlling important topography and landforms, geological body boundaries, faults, and geothermal anomalies, and adopt a layout method that combines route crossing and lateral tracking. The observation points should focus on active structures, geothermal displays, deep holes, and reservoir rock mass geological surveys.

[0052] Optionally, the observation route satisfies at least one of the following: Vertical topography, geological body boundaries and fault strike directions; Conduct lateral tracing along key boundaries and significant changes in topography; Along the extension direction of hot springs, spring blooms and alteration zones; Along the direction of natural cracks in the rock mass.

[0054] Among them, the deep stratigraphic structure and / or temperature field of the exploration target area may include boreholes, machine wells, civil wells, mines, tunnels, etc.

[0055] Geothermal geological survey is mainly used to clarify fault structures, Quaternary volcanic activities, natural fissure characteristics, geological body composition and structure, spatial contact relationship, hot springs, spring blooms, altered surface thermal displays, etc. Geothermal geological survey work should be carried out on the basis of remote sensing interpretation and regional geological survey data.

[0056] It should be noted that different levels of survey accuracy can refer to the requirements of geothermal geological surveys or hydrogeological surveys of the same scale.

[0057] The hot dry rock geothermal geological characteristics may include, but are not limited to, at least one of the geothermal gradient of the exploration target area, the scope of the geothermal anomaly area, and the thermal structure information of the lithosphere.

[0059] It should be noted that geophysical logging of the survey points within the exploration target area is the main means of realizing geophysical exploration of the exploration target area. Geophysical exploration is mainly used to determine the appropriate geophysical exploration technical methods and method combinations according to the target tasks of different investigation accuracy of hot dry rocks, as well as the geological and geophysical data collected in the work area, combined with on-site surveys and forward and inverse simulation analysis, to clarify the technical work content and workload of geophysical methods.

If conditions permit, the wells can be drilled in accordance with the requirements of production wells or monitoring wells.

[0091] The hole depth of hot dry rock geological drilling should be determined according to the drilling target, reaching or passing through the hot dry rock target reservoir, and comprehensively judged according to the geothermal geological conditions of the hot dry rock development site, the location of the reservoir section and the development and utilization conditions. The hole diameter should be determined according to factors such as the drilling target, type, formation, logging requirements, and subsequent development and utilization plans.

[0117] In addition, in the embodiment of the present invention, based on the exploration results of the exploration target area, a hot dry rock favorable area (HDR favorable area) and a hot dry rock development target area (HDR development target area) can be determined from multiple exploration target areas. The hot dry rock favorable area refers to an area with potential development value that is preliminarily determined by the hot dry rock resource survey. The hot dry rock development target area refers to an area that, based on the exploration of the hot dry rock resource exploration target area, is guided by the development and utilization of hot dry rocks, identifies the distribution of natural fractures and the direction of ground stress in the proposed artificial heat storage area, serves the construction of the artificial heat storage, and evaluates the geology and environment that affect the development.

[0118] During the investigation process, the investigation and evaluation of hot dry rock resources can be deployed in an orderly manner from regional to local, from unknown to known and with different precisions. In areas with simple hot dry rock geothermal geological conditions, the investigation and evaluation of hot dry rock resources can be appropriately combined. At different stages of the investigation, the investigation accuracy can be different, for example, the four different stages of regional hot dry rock geothermal geological survey (1:500000~1:250000), hot dry rock geothermal geological survey in key areas (1:50000), detailed investigation of hot dry rock geothermal geological exploration in exploration target areas (1:25000~1:10000) and detailed exploration of development target areas (1:5000~1:1000).

[0119] The survey contents and work requirements at different stages are also different. Among them, the regional hot dry rock geothermal geological survey is mainly based on data collection, remote sensing interpretation and small-scale geothermal geological mapping; the hot dry rock geothermal geological survey in key areas is mainly based on regional geophysical exploration and small and medium-scale geothermal geological mapping; the geothermal geological survey in the target area of ​​hot dry rock resource exploration is mainly based on high-precision geophysical exploration, large-scale geothermal geology and hot dry rock drilling; the geothermal geological survey in the target area of ​​hot dry rock development is mainly based on comprehensive engineering geological survey and evaluation.

[0120] For example, regional hot dry rock geothermal geological surveys should generally be conducted on the basis of regional geological surveys, geophysical surveys such as gravity and electromagnetic methods, and geothermal heat flow (temperature) measurements. Its main tasks are to discover clues to high-temperature thermal anomalies in geothermal geology, search for high-temperature geothermal resources, and make judgments on whether the work area is worth conducting further investigations.

[0137] c) Conduct rock physics experiments on core or adjacent outcrop samples to obtain rock mechanical properties.

[0138] d) Combined with the site drilling and rock thermophysical data, numerical methods are used to calculate the dry hot rock resource reserves and exploitable volume in the exploration area in detail, and a resource exploration report for the proposed artificial thermal storage area is submitted. The detailed investigation should be carried out on the basis of the general investigation, in accordance with the needs of the dry hot rock development layout plan, in areas with good resource conditions and favorable development, and a detailed geothermal geological investigation report and engineering survey report of the target area should be submitted.
