Abstract:

As a significant component of geothermal resources, hot dry rock (HDR) geothermal energy has attracted increasing attention due to its clean, stable and renewable characteristics and great potential of geothermal power generation. Hot dry rock research is still at the early stage in China. Here, based on analysis of HDR exploitation projects around the world, we proposed several geothermal and geological indices for HDR evaluation and showed that the Matouying Uplift has great HDR exploitation potentials. Taking the HDR resource project in the Matouying Uplift as an example, we discussed the rules and indices for site selection through analyses of cap and reservoir rock conditions and deep geothermal anomaly. We also built a conceptual model of the drilling area in the Matouying Uplift for estimating temperatures of deep geothermal reservoirs.

Key words: hot dry rock, site selection index, genetic model, Matouying Uplift
