Abstract:Hot dry rock geothermal resources have the advantages of being clean, stable, and having vast reserves, making them an important direction for future deep geothermal energy development. The Devonian Bay Basin is located in the overlapping area of destruction and extension of the North China Craton, where fault structures are well developed, and geothermal anomalies are significant, providing favorable conditions for the occurrence of hot dry rocks. Addressing drilling challenges in this area, such as hard bedrock formations, high abrasiveness, and difficulty in controlling well deviation, this study, based on the Devonian Bay hot dry rock exploration well ZK1, conducted research on efficient drilling technology. The paper systematically summarizes key technologies during the drilling process, which include: employing a composite drilling technique of "mud motor with PDC bit" to significantly increase the mechanical drilling speed in hard rock formations; establishing multiple well deviation control measures, and through the combination of rigid full-face drilling tools, intensified logging, and real-time correction, achieving a cumulative well deviation of less than 8° over 3000 m; optimizing drilling parameters and using a dual-tube single-action core-taking tool in combination with diamond bits, resulting in an average core recovery rate of 74.58%. Engineering practice has shown that the developed efficient drilling technology system successfully completed the construction of a 3005.41 m hot dry rock well, providing an effective technical reference for the exploration of hot dry rock resources in the Devonian Bay Basin and similar areas.
