Under the framework of the national “double carbon” strategy
the efficient development and utilization of clean energy have become a focal point across various industries. Middle and deep hydrothermal geothermal resources
characterized by their abundant reserves and environmentally friendly attributes
represent a significant clean energy source. Recent trends have shown a shift from a distributed development model to a cluster development model for geothermal resources
offering advantages in terms of economy
stability
risk management
and scalability. However
the development mode
well patterns
and well spacing
key parameters in cluster development
are still under investigation due to their significant impact on the process. There is an urgent need to conduct research on these mechanisms and optimize the key parameters. In this study
the HTC geothermal field serves as the subject for our analysis. We employ numerical simulation technology to integrate the underground temperature field
pressure field
and water flow field into a comprehensive mathematical model. This model helps analyze the effects of various development modes and patterns
as well as the spacing of mining and irrigation wells
thereby identifying optimal parameters that can guide field production. Practice has demonstrated that this approach effectively ensures the stable operation of geothermal development projects and enhances their economic benefits.
