Background
Under the background of global warming, governments of various countries pay great attention to energy conservation and emission reduction. Geothermal energy is a renewable clean new energy source, and the energy source is very abundant, has great development and utilization potential, and has become an effective substitute of the traditional fossil energy source. Research shows that the Enhanced Geothermal system (EGS Enhanced Geothermal Systems) is hardly influenced by the external environment and hardly causes pollution and damage to the human environment. The enhanced geothermal system is an artificial geothermal system which economically extracts a considerable amount of geothermal energy from underground deep low-permeability dry and hot rock bodies through an artificial fracturing technology. In EGS engineering, the poor hydraulic connection between a production well/an injection well and an artificial geothermal reservoir fracture network is often encountered, and the capacity requirement of the EGS cannot be met. In order to expand fracture networks and increase the permeability of thermal reservoirs, research reports use EGS chemical stimulation, that is, chemical stimulation liquid is injected into the fractures of the thermal reservoirs near wells at injection pressure lower than the fracture pressure of the formations, and rock minerals are dissolved by means of chemical erosion to increase the permeability of the formations.
At present, a common chemical stimulant is earth acid formed by mixing hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, and a conventional earth acid (acid content is calculated by mass fraction) of 12% HCl + 3% HF is commonly used in the field of petroleum and gas for reservoir production increase, but previous researches show that high-concentration earth acid is severely corroded for rock mineral and is very easy to form secondary precipitation in a reservoir, so that researchers select low-concentration earth acid of 10% HCl + 0.5% HF for research, but the low-concentration earth acid is not beneficial to improvement of permeability. Therefore, on one hand, secondary sedimentation of a reservoir caused by severe corrosion of rock mineral by the chemical stimulant is avoided, and on the other hand, the formula of the chemical stimulant is optimized when the permeability of the chemical stimulant in the rock is improved.
