摘要

The Iceland Deep Drilling Project (IDDP) is a long-term program by a consortium of leading Icelandic energy companies to improve the economics of geothermal energy by producing supercritical hydrous fluids from drillable depths. Supercritical fluids have higher enthalpy than steam produced from two-phase systems. Large changes in physical properties near the critical point can lead to extremely high flow rates. A two year-long feasibility study in Iceland, that has just been completed, indicates that producing supercritical fluids is feasible, but will require drilling wells to depths of 3.5 to 5 km to reach temperatures of 450-600°C. Although drilling deep supercritical wells will cost in the range of USdollar 10 million each, modeling indicates that the power output from supercritical wells in favorable conditions should be 50 MWe, an order of magnitude greater than is usual from conventional geothermal wells. Iceland is a very favorable environment for this project as active rifting and volcanism provide the permeability and heat sources for a major geothermal industry. Very high heat flows within three currently producing high-temperature geothermal fields, at Nesjavellir, Krafla and Reykjanes, indicate that supercritical temperatures exist at drillable depths. Seismic activity continues to below 5 km in these geothermal fields, indicating that even at supercritical temperatures, the rocks are brittle and therefore likely to be permeable. Because of the high rain and snowfall, the Nesjavellir, Krafla geothermal systems produce very dilute fluids, whereas the Reykjanes system is recharged by seawater. If the IDDP is an economic success, this same approach could be applied in other high-temperature volcanic geothermal systems elsewhere, an important step in enhancing the economics of the geothermal industry worldwide.
