摘要

Targeting structurally controlled permeability remains a challenge in geothermal fields, because of the difficulties in characterizing subsurface structures (faults and fractures) and their behavior within the reservoir. Sensitivity of measurement in combination with 100% circumferential coverage makes acoustic borehole images useful for detecting subsurface structures and providing direct data on in-situ stress orientations and lithology from within the borehole. The accuracy of the acoustic borehole images paired with skilled image interpretation helps to understand if faults / fractures are open or healed, which leads to optimized subsurface structure characterization to enhance well sitting and production. Production wells ThG 2,1 ThG 5,1 ThG 7,1 and ThG 81 were logged on behalf of Landsvirkjun between 2016 and 2017, using an Acoustic Borehole Imager ("ABI") tool deployed by Iceland GeoSurvey (Islenskar Orkurannsoknir (ISOR)). These production wells are located in Theistareykir geothermal field, Thingeyjarsveit, northeastern Iceland. A total of 5,889 meters of acoustic borehole image have been analysed and interpreted, and a total of 14,501 natural open fractures, 21 natural closed fractures, 169 possible open faults, 59 drilling induced fractures, and 64 borehole breakouts have been identified in the wells. Subsurface structure and in-situ stress orientations agree generally with the tectonic setting, though they display variations within the geothermal field. Subsurface structural variability and variations of in-situ stress orientation are related to larger scale fracture, fissure, and fault architectures in the Theistareykir geothermal field, i.e. NNE-SSW striking fractures and fissures of Mt. Baejarfjall and NW striking Tjarnaras fault. Acoustic borehole images also provide information on structural fluid flow pathways in the Theistareykir field. Natural open fractures and possible open faults are likely important contributors to permeability in the majority of feed zones identified in the production wells. Wide aperture natural open fractures and possible open fault with N-S/NNE-SSW strike orientations and high fracture density zones have been correlated to permeability indicators such as sudden increases in temperature, major changes of circulation loss rate, or decreases in fluid velocity logs.
