Research progress on key technologies for optimizing deep geothermal reservoir target zones

  • 摘要: 在“双碳”目标背景下,中深层地热资源开发利用需求持续增长,深部热储的识别与靶区优选成为地热勘查的重要研究方向。然而,厚覆盖层、构造复杂及人为干扰等因素导致传统单一勘探方法在探测深度、分辨率及解释精度等方面存在局限,难以满足复杂地质条件下深部热储评价的需求。围绕深部热储靶区优选这一目的,系统梳理了近年来地震勘探、电磁勘探及水文地球化学方法在国内外典型地热区中的应用进展,分析了不同方法在深部热源识别、储层结构刻画、断裂通道探测及地热流体运移特征分析等方面的适用性及局限性。结合典型地热区多方法协同勘查实例,对地震成像、电阻率结构反演及水文地球化学约束等技术的协同机制进行了归纳,总结了不同地质条件下多源信息融合的技术特点及适用范围。结果表明:地震方法能够较好地揭示断裂展布及深部构造特征,电磁方法对深部低阻热储及流体富集区具有较高的识别能力,水文地球化学方法能够有效约束热储温度、流体来源及循环过程。单一方法易受到地质条件及方法自身探测能力的限制,而多方法协同能够充分发挥不同技术之间的互补优势,通过地震成像约束构造框架、电阻率反演识别热储空间展布以及水文地球化学验证流体循环特征,实现深部热源−热储−导流通道体系的综合识别。针对厚覆盖层及强干扰地质条件,总结形成了以地震勘探、电磁勘探和水文地球化学协同约束为核心的深部热储靶区优选技术思路,并归纳了不同地质条件下相应的技术组合模式及适用条件,为复杂地热区深部热储勘查提供了可借鉴的技术路线。

     

    Abstract: Against the backdrop of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals, the demand for the development and utilization of medium- and deep geothermal resources continues to increase, making the identification of deep geothermal reservoirs and target selection an important research focus in geothermal exploration. However, thick overburden, complex geological structures, and anthropogenic interference impose significant limitations on conventional single exploration methods in terms of investigation depth, resolution, and interpretation accuracy, making them inadequate for evaluating deep geothermal reservoirs under complex geological conditions. Focusing on deep geothermal reservoir target selection, recent advances in the application of seismic exploration, electromagnetic exploration, and hydrogeochemistry are systematically reviewed in representative geothermal fields worldwide. The applicability and limitations of these methods for identifying deep heat sources, characterizing reservoir structures, detecting fault-controlled fluid pathways, and analyzing geothermal fluid migration are comprehensively evaluated. On the basis of integrated exploration case studies from representative geothermal fields, the collaborative mechanisms of seismic imaging, electrical resistivity inversion, and hydrogeochemical constraints are summarized, and the technical characteristics and applicability of multi-source data integration under different geological settings are synthesized. The results indicate that seismic methods are effective in delineating fault distributions and deep structural features, electromagnetic methods exhibit a strong capability for identifying deep low-resistivity geothermal reservoirs and fluid-enriched zones, and hydrogeochemical methods provide effective constraints on reservoir temperature, fluid origin, and circulation processes. Individual methods are inherently constrained by geological conditions and their own detection capabilities, whereas integrated multi-method exploration fully exploits the complementary strengths of different techniques. By using seismic imaging to constrain the structural framework, electrical resistivity inversion to delineate the spatial distribution of geothermal reservoirs, and hydrogeochemical investigations to verify fluid circulation characteristics, comprehensive identification of the deep heat source–reservoir–fluid conduit system can be achieved. For geological settings characterized by thick overburden and strong interference, an integrated target selection strategy centered on the collaborative application of seismic exploration, electromagnetic exploration, and hydrogeochemical constraints is summarized. Corresponding combinations of exploration techniques and their applicable geological conditions are also synthesized, providing a practical technical framework for deep geothermal reservoir exploration in complex geothermal systems.
