Overview of seismic exploration for hot dry rock reservoirs
As a significant occurrence of geothermal resources, the energy stored in subsurface hot dry rock reservoirs can be extracted via Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS). Highly efficient exploration for deep hot dry rock would assist the achievement of energy transition and dual carbon goals. Some benefits of seismic prospecting include high resolution, super deep exploration and controllable deployment, which means this technique cannot be replaced in meticulous depiction of reservoirs and identification of natural fractures zone. So as to investigate the updated progress in seismic exploration for hot dry rock and provide certain valuable references, we have classified the application of active source seismic methods in terms of different strategies. Data processing, interpretation and inversion techniques are utilized in accurate imaging of structures, estimation of rock physical parameters, and dynamic monitoring of EGS exploitation. Besides, we verified that integrated seismic and other geophysical exploration can promote the exactitude in determination of well location and receivers' layout. The summarized concepts in this paper may be useful for researchers to acquire the information of seismic methods for hot dry rock prospecting effectively.
