Abstract Geothermal energy is an important renewable energy source, where hot dry rock (HDR) constitutes the primary component, accounting for approximately 90% of the resource. Therefore, the establishment of an efficient HDR geothermal utilization system is a core issue in geothermal resource development. Hydraulic fracturing (HF) technology serves as a crucial means aimed at enhancing the complexity of underground fracture networks and increasing heat exchange efficiency, thus improving the performance of HDR geothermal utilization systems. However, the fracture structure formed by conventional HF techniques is relatively simple, resulting in limited heat exchange areas. Hence, the temporary… More >
