Progress in geophysical exploration of supercritical geothermal resources
Supercritical geothermal can extract more than ten times the energy of conventional Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS), and become the development direction of new energy. Although China has become the country with the largest direct utilization of medium and low temperature geothermal resources, the level of exploration and development of deep underground high temperature geothermal resources needs to be improved. In this paper, we analyze the research progress of high temperature and high pressure physics experiment, numerical simulation, geophysical exploration and monitoring methods for supercritical geothermal, and the rock-fluid-gas geophysical properties of three-phase medium are summarized and analysis. And we give the typical high temperature geothermal area in China for supercritical geothermal resource exploration potential evaluation preliminary discussions, The potential exploration areas of deep supercritical geothermal resources based on geophysical survey results are predicted to provide support for the commercial utilization of supercritical geothermal resources in China.
