摘要
CO_2增强型采热系统(CO_2-EGS)工程中CO_2作用下岩石的水压破裂行为是目前亟需解决的一个关键科学问题。从福建漳州采取花岗岩露头,利用自主研制的厚壁圆筒式致裂仪进行了不同流体(CO_2、水)的水压致裂试验,研究了CO_2、水入渗致裂后花岗岩的破裂特征及破裂机制。研究表明:随着致裂液黏度的减小,试样破裂过程会形成更多且更曲折的微裂纹分支,这意味着,采用CO_2压裂可能更有利于形成缝网,从而有助于提高增强型采热(EGS)工程中换热效率;试样的破裂压力随着致裂液黏度的减小而降低,而较低的破裂压有助于注入井的安全运行;试验结果可用从对流换热角度分析的流体岩石相互作用机制解释,进而验证了其准确性。
The hydraulic fracturing(HF) behavior under CO_2 condition is a key scientific issue in CO_2-enhanced geothermal system project. The granite specimen was taken from the quarry in Zhangzhou, Fujian province. HF experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of CO_2 and H2 O on the HF process and crack propagation by using a new independently developed hollow cylinder. This study reveals that with the decrease of the viscosity of the fracturing fluid, a greater number and more sinuous microcrack branches form in the fracture process. This indicates that CO_2 fracturing may be more conducive to the formation of the crack network, which helps to increase the heat exchange efficiency in the CO_2-EGS projects. The fracture pressure of the specimen decreases with decreasing the viscosity of the fracturing fluid, which leads to the safe operation of the injection well with a lower value. The experimental results consist with the interaction mechanism of fluid rock from the convective heat transfer perspective,and its accuracy is verified.
