摘要
大型水力压裂是干热岩地热能开发中人工储留层建造的最有效手段,其核心力学问题为高温、高压下岩石的水力破岩机制。通过单轴应力下带钻孔花岗岩注入高温蒸汽破坏试验,研究固-热耦合作用下花岗岩的水力破岩机制。结果表明:高温对花岗岩破裂有很大的促进作用,热效应导致强度弱化,降低破裂压力。高速率注入430℃和350℃蒸汽破坏试验中,破裂压力比常温水压裂至少降低58%;低速率注入400℃和450℃蒸汽破坏试验中,花岗岩破裂压力比常温水压裂降低75%。注蒸汽破坏过程可分为热破裂损伤和宏观裂缝扩展两个阶段。高温蒸汽产生的热应力在钻孔周围随机发生热破裂,随着注入蒸汽时间的增加,热破裂范围由钻孔附近逐渐向远处扩展,热破裂分布密度增大,为宏观裂缝的产生提供便利条件。初始宏观裂缝首先出现在钻孔两侧,沿着最终形成的宏观裂缝轨迹扩展,直到试样破坏。与常温水压裂相比,低速率注蒸汽破坏是一个缓慢的延性拉破坏过程,裂缝相对钻孔不对称扩展,宽度小于水力压裂裂缝宽度。
Large-scale hydraulic fracturing is the most effective way to construct the artificial reservoir in the development of hot dry rock geothermal energy. The key issue is to reveal the hydraulic fracture mechanism of rock under high temperature and pressure. The high-temperature-vapour-driven failure experiments were carried out on granite under uniaxial stress, and the preliminary results on the failure mechanism were obtained under thermo-mechanical coupling. Results indicate that high temperature can greatly cause the failure of granite by weakening the strength and reducing the breakdown pressure. Compared with the breakdown pressure of hydraulic fracturing at room temperature, they were decreased by at least 58% at the high injection rates of 430℃ and 350℃ vapours, while they were reduced by 75% at the low injection rates of 400℃ and 450℃ vapours in the vapour driven failure experiments. The process of high-temperature-vapour-driven failure can be divided into two stages, namely, thermal fracture damage and macrocrack propagation. In the thermal cracking stage, the thermal stress resulted in thermal cracks randomly around the borehole. With the increase of vapour injection time, the thermal cracking range gradually extended, and the microcracking density enhanced, which facilitated the fracture propagation. In the second stage, the fractures were primarily generated on both sides of the borehole and then propagated along the final trace of macrocracks until the failure of the specimen. Compared with hydraulic fracturing at room temperature, the failure induced by vapour at a low injection rate was a slow ductile tensile failure. The fracture extended asymmetrically along the borehole, and the width was smaller than that of hydraulic fracturing at room temperature.
