The spacing between adjacent measurement lines may be 50 meters, and the spacing between adjacent measurement points on each measurement line may be 20 meters.

[0078] This application embodiment provides a method for determining dry hot rock cracks, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 Flowchart of another method for determining hot dry rock cracks provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising:

[0079] Step 301: Obtain resistivity data of the target area.

[0080] The resistivity data of the target area may include the relationship between depth and apparent resistivity in the target area. The target area may include the area where hot dry rock fractures are distributed. Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a graph showing the relationship between depth and apparent resistivity in a target area provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 The vertical axis represents different depth positions in meters, and the horizontal axis represents the apparent resistivity corresponding to different depth positions in ohm-meters. Figure 4 Including the original resistivity data S1 and the resistivity data S2 after forward modeling, the original resistivity data S1 of the collected target area can be forward calculated by forward modeling software, so that the resistivity data S2 after forward modeling can be closer to the actual apparent resistivity value.

[0081] Step 302: Determine the frequency range of the electric field signal reflecting a specified depth range in the target area based on the resistivity data of the target area.

[0082] According to the resistivity data of the target area, the apparent resistivity corresponding to the specified depth range in the target area can be obtained. The frequency range corresponding to the specified depth range can be obtained by the frequency calculation formula. The frequency calculation formula is:

[0083] H=365*(ρ / f) 1 / 2 ;

[0084] Where ρ is the apparent resistivity at one of the depth positions, which can be obtained from Figure 4 The forward modeled resistivity data S2 is provided, where H is the depth and f is the frequency corresponding to the apparent resistivity at one depth.

[0085] For example, please refer to Figure 4 The specified depth range may be a depth range of 3650 meters to 3950 meters from the ground, wherein the maximum depth position B1 of the second electrode B may be 3950 meters from the ground, and the minimum depth position B2 of the second electrode B may be 3650 meters from the ground. The frequency corresponding to the maximum depth position B1 and the frequency corresponding to the minimum depth position B2 may be calculated respectively by the above frequency calculation formula, thereby obtaining a frequency range corresponding to the specified depth range of 62.5 Hz to 0.98 Hz.

[0086] Step 303: Determine the frequency and period of the electric field signal emitted by the emission field source.

[0087] The frequencies corresponding to other depth positions within the specified depth range can be calculated separately by the above-mentioned frequency calculation formula, so that the frequency of the electric field signal emitted by the transmitting field source can be determined. For example, please refer to Table 1, which is a frequency and periodic table of electric field signals emitted by a transmitting field source provided in an embodiment of the present application. The frequency of the electric field signal emitted by the transmitting field source provided in Table 1 is within the frequency range of the electric field signal reflecting the specified depth range in the target area. The period can be calculated by the frequency of the electric field signal emitted by the transmitting field source provided in Table 1, and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency of the electric field signal emitted by the transmitting field source. The greater the detection depth of the second electrode, the lower the corresponding electric field signal frequency, and the shallower the detection depth of the second electrode, the higher the corresponding electric field signal frequency.

[0089] Serial number Cycle(s) Frequency (Hz) 1 0.016 62.500 2 0.026 38.462 3 0.032 31.250 4 0.046 21.739 5 0.064 15.625 6 0.086 11.628 7 0.128 7.812 8 0.168 5.952 9 0.256 3.906 10 0.326 3.067 11 0.400 2.500 12 0.460 2.174 13 0.512 1.953 14 0.680 1.471 15 0.820 1.220 16 1.024 0.977

[0090] Step 304: Acquire, at multiple measuring points, multiple electric field signals emitted by the transmitting field source when the second electrode is located at different depths in the borehole.

[0091] The second electrode can be positioned at different depths in the borehole, with adjacent depths spaced apart by a specified distance, illustratively, 10 meters. The first electrode cooperates with the second electrode positioned at different depths in the borehole to transmit an electric field signal. The transmitting field source can emit multiple electric field signals according to the frequency and period obtained in step 303. A greater depth of the second electrode corresponds to a lower frequency and a longer period of the corresponding electric field signal, while a shallower depth of the second electrode corresponds to a higher frequency and a shorter period of the corresponding electric field signal.

[0092] Specifically, acquiring multiple electric field signals emitted by the transmitting field source when the second electrode is located at different depths in the borehole at multiple measuring points may include:

[0093] 1) The second electrode is moved upward from the initial position to the first depth position with a specified distance as a step length.

[0094] 2) Control the transmitting field source to transmit electric field signals.

[0095] 3) Acquiring, at multiple measuring points, electric field signals emitted by the transmitting field source when the second electrode is located at the first depth.

[0096] 4) Move the second electrode upward from the first depth position to the second depth position with a specified distance as a step.

[0097] 5) Control the transmitting field source to transmit electric field signals.

[0098] 6) Acquire, at multiple measuring points, electric field signals emitted by the transmitting field source when the second electrode is located at the second depth.

[0099] Among them, the initial position of the second electrode can be any depth position of the second electrode within the specified depth range, the distance between the first depth position and the initial position is a specified distance, and the distance between the second depth position and the first depth position is a specified distance. The specified distance can be adjusted according to the geological conditions of the target area. For example, the specified distance can be 10 meters. A smaller specified distance can improve the accuracy of the method.

[0100] For example, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the electric field signals received at seven of the multiple measuring points and time, provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 It reflects the relationship between electric field intensity and time, which is given by Figure 5 It can be seen that the collected electric field signal is a periodic function. Figure 5 The data of the provided electric field signal can be used to calculate the amplitude spectrum.

[0101] Step 305: Determine multiple amplitude spectra corresponding to the multiple electric field signals.

[0102] The electric field signals received at multiple measuring points can be Fourier transformed to obtain the amplitude spectrum corresponding to the electric field signal. The calculation formula for the amplitude spectrum can be:

[0103]

[0104] Among them, A i (f) is the amplitude spectrum of the i-th measurement point among the multiple measurement points at frequency f, E(n) is the multiple electric field signals obtained at the multiple measurement points, and E(n) can be Figure 5 The data of the electric field signal is provided, and N is the number of depth positions of the second electrode. For example, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is an amplitude spectrum curve corresponding to multiple electric field signals collected at multiple measuring points provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the abscissa is the measuring point number, the ordinate is the amplitude, each curve is the amplitude corresponding to the electric field signal of the same frequency, and the frequency corresponding to each curve can be the frequency of the electric field signal emitted by the emission source provided in Table 1. Figure 6 The amplitude spectrum data provided can be used to calculate the apparent resistivity.

[0105] Step 306: Determine multiple apparent resistivities corresponding to the multiple amplitude spectra.

[0106] The apparent resistivity calculation formula can be used to determine the apparent resistivity corresponding to the amplitude spectrum. The apparent resistivity calculation formula includes:

[0107]

[0108] Among them, ρ w is the apparent resistivity, A i (f) is the amplitude spectrum of the i-th measurement point among multiple measurement points at frequency f, A i (f) can be Figure 6 In the amplitude spectrum data provided, r1 is the minimum distance between the first electrode and the second electrode in the direction perpendicular to the ground, and r2 is the maximum distance between the first electrode and the second electrode in the direction perpendicular to the ground. r1 can be the distance between the first electrode and the second electrode in the direction perpendicular to the ground when the second electrode is at the minimum depth position, and r2 can be the distance between the first electrode and the second electrode in the direction perpendicular to the ground when the second electrode is at the maximum depth position. For example, if the first electrode is located on the ground and the minimum depth position B2 can be 3650 meters from the ground, then r1 can be 3650 meters, and the maximum depth position B1 can be 3950 meters from the ground, then r2 can be 3950 meters. Since the apparent resistivity obtained by the above-mentioned apparent resistivity calculation formula is related to the depth position range of the target area, the apparent resistivity calculation formula can be applied to the calculation of apparent resistivity in different depth ranges, which is conducive to improving the wide applicability and accuracy of the apparent resistivity calculation formula.

[0109] For example, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is an apparent resistivity curve at multiple measuring points provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the horizontal axis is the distance between the measuring points, the vertical axis is the logarithm of the frequency, each curve is the apparent resistivity curve of one of the multiple measuring points, and the fluctuation of each curve in the horizontal axis direction represents the change of the apparent resistivity measured at the corresponding measuring point with the depth position.

[0110] Step 307: Perform differential operations on the multiple apparent resistivities to obtain multiple differential apparent resistivities.

[0111] The differential apparent resistivity of multiple measuring points can be determined by the differential operation formula, which includes:

[0112] Df_ρ w (i) = ρ w (h i )-ρ w (h i-1 );

[0113] Among them, Df_ρ w (i) is the differential apparent resistivity corresponding to the i-th depth position, ρ w (h i ) is the apparent resistivity of the second electrode under the emission field source at the i-th depth position, h i is the i-th depth position, ρ w (h i-1 ) is the apparent resistivity of the second electrode under the emission source at the (i-1)th depth, h i-1 is the (i-1)th depth position, and the i-th depth position is adjacent to the (i-1)th depth position. The differential apparent resistivity can reflect changes in the electrical properties of the formation. The lower the differential apparent resistivity, the better the conductivity, and the higher the differential apparent resistivity, the worse the conductivity.

[0114] For example, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a graph showing the relationship between the differential apparent resistivity and depth of one of the multiple measuring points provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the abscissa is the differential apparent resistivity in ohm-meters, and the ordinate is the depth in meters, where the depth may be the depth position of the second electrode. Figure 8 Provides the differential apparent resistivity of one of the multiple measurement points at multiple depths within the specified depth range. Figure 9 , Figure 9This is a differential apparent resistivity profile curve of multiple measuring points provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the horizontal axis is the measuring point number, the vertical axis is the differential apparent resistivity, and the unit is ohm·meter. Each curve is the differential apparent resistivity corresponding to the same depth position. Figure 9 Provides differential apparent resistivity at multiple depths within a specified depth range for multiple measuring points. Figure 9 It can reflect the difference in differential apparent resistivity at multiple depth positions at different measuring points, where the depth position corresponding to each curve has a size relationship of: L1 < L2 < L3 < L4 < L5 < L6 < L7.

[0115] Step 308: Obtain a differential apparent resistivity contour line profile and a differential apparent resistivity contour line plane of the target area based on the multiple differential apparent resistivities.

[0116] The differential apparent resistivity data of multiple measuring points at multiple depths can be obtained according to the differential calculation formula in step 307, so that a differential apparent resistivity contour profile and a differential apparent resistivity contour plane map of the target area can be obtained using mapping software. The differential apparent resistivity contour profile map includes differential apparent resistivity contour lines on a section perpendicular to the ground, and the differential apparent resistivity contour plane map includes differential apparent resistivity contour lines on a plane parallel to the ground.

[0117] For example, please refer to Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a differential apparent resistivity contour profile provided in an embodiment of the present application. The horizontal axis of the differential apparent resistivity contour profile is the positions of multiple measuring points on one of the multiple measuring lines, and the vertical axis of the differential apparent resistivity contour profile is the depth position of the second electrode. Figure 10 The electrical distribution law of the differential apparent resistivity on the section can be intuitively reflected. The area where the differential apparent resistivity is lower than the preset value corresponds to the location with good conductivity, while the area where the differential apparent resistivity is higher than the preset value corresponds to the location with poor conductivity. Figure 10 The black area C in the figure is the area surrounded by the contour lines. The differential apparent resistivity of the black area C is lower than the preset value, which may be 0.

[0118] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 The embodiment of the present application provides a differential apparent resistivity contour map. The horizontal axis of the differential apparent resistivity contour map is the position of multiple measuring points on multiple measuring lines in a first direction parallel to the ground, and the vertical axis of the differential apparent resistivity contour map is the position of multiple measuring points on multiple measuring lines in a second direction parallel to the ground. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Figure 11The electrical distribution law of the differential apparent resistivity on the plane can be intuitively reflected. The area where the differential apparent resistivity is lower than the preset value corresponds to the location with good conductivity, and the area where the differential apparent resistivity is higher than the preset value corresponds to the location with poor conductivity. Figure 11 The black area C in the figure is the area surrounded by the contour lines, and the differential apparent resistivity of the black area C is lower than the preset value.

[0120] Spatial distribution information of the hot dry rock cracks in the target area, including positions of the hot dry rock cracks in the target area in a first direction, positions of the hot dry rock cracks in the target area in a second direction, and depth positions of the hot dry rock cracks in the target area;

[0121] Specifically, the spatial distribution information of the hot dry rock fractures in the target area is determined based on the differential apparent resistivity contour profile and differential apparent resistivity contour plane of the target area, including:

[0122] 1) Obtaining the measuring point positions corresponding to the areas where the differential apparent resistivity values ​​are less than a preset value in the differential apparent resistivity contour line profile and the differential apparent resistivity contour line plane, and the corresponding depth positions of the second electrodes.

[0123] For example, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In the differential apparent resistivity contour profile and differential apparent resistivity contour plane provided, the contour value range can be between -100 ohm·m and 100 ohm·m, and the preset value can be 0 ohm·m. The area with a negative contour value can be determined as the area where the differential resistivity is lower than the preset value ( Figure 10 and Figure 11 The black area C in the figure), the area where the differential apparent resistivity is lower than the preset value corresponds to a location with good conductivity, so the black area C may be the location where the hot dry rock cracks develop in the target area.

[0124] 2) Determine the spatial distribution information of hot dry rock cracks in the target area.

[0125] For example, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 By obtaining the depth position of the black area C, the position of the black area C in the first direction and the position in the second direction, the spatial distribution information of the hot dry rock cracks in the target area can be determined.
