Mechanism and Influencing Factor Analysis of Near-Well Stimulation for Hot Dry Rock Reservoirs by Liquid CO₂ Phase Transition Blasting: Applied to Matouying Uplift

ACS Omega, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 14, 2025

To improve the heat transfer efficiency of hot dry rock (HDR) well group, a near-well stimulation method liquid CO2 phase transition blasting (LCO2-PB) is put forward, fracturing characteristics and mechanism samples induced by impact dynamic load are analyzed, effects hydraulic cracks, buried depth, shock wave amplitude, frequency on reservoir clarified, feasible suggestions have been proposed for its on-site application. Results show that applied LCO2-PB can effectively increase number connectivity cracks enhance complexity damaged cracks. The existence has promoting effect generation distribution because stress reflect refract in torn apart surrounding area. depth suppressive range increases difficulty crack initiation. amplitude beneficial while it also risk wellbore damage. There linear positive correlation between zone area, there an optimal to form connected network avoid serious damage wellbore. For HDR reservoirs with large prefracturing, increasing selecting appropriate significantly promote exploitation resources.

Experimental and Numerical Simulation Research on Controllable Shock Wave-Induced Shale Fracturing under Repeated Action

ACS Omega, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Март 7, 2024

Low permeability is a key geological factor constraining the development of shale gas, and reservoir modification to improve its prerequisite. Controlled shock wave fracturing can induce formation complex fractures in reservoirs expected become an important means modification. However, mechanism controlled engineering control factors are unclear. Therefore, this article reveals effect through small-scale experiments large-scale numerical simulations. Results show that as impact number increases, significant increase large fracture connectivity within samples observed, while correlation between geometric parameters impacts weak. High-energy input model will cause larger range damage rock, accompanied by smaller attenuation index, indicating speed energy plays decisive role rock damage. The influence crustal stress greater than attenuation, higher inhibit fractures. A moderate controllable waves beneficial for effect; however, further increasing loading weaken strengthening effect.

Abstract As fractures serve as the primary heat exchange channels between medium and rock, accurately describing random geometric characteristics of is crucial for studying extraction performance Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). In this study, based on a Voronoi-discrete fracture network, two-dimensional coupled THM (Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical) numerical model was developed to explore effects development degree, circulating media, injection/production parameters system’s performance. The results indicate that: ① degree in reservoir increases extends exploitation lifetime. ② has greatest impact system. After 30 years production, N 2 O CO have similar thermal conductivity viscosity, with production temperature approximately 557.51 K, while H only 484.01 K. ③ injection rate secondary Excessively high rates cause short-circuiting wells, significantly reducing temperature. ④. pressure little effect performance, but increasing can reduce pressure. contrast, internal driving force. conclusion suggests that well-developed network enhances Choosing an 60–80 kg s −1 appropriately satisfy both requirements long-term goals.
