Abstract: | We present a new apparatus capable of maintaining in-situ conditions pertinent to deep geothermal reservoirs over periods
of months while in the same time allowing a variety of continuous petrophysical investigations. Two identical devices have
been set up at the GFZ-Potsdam. Lithostatic overburden- and hydrostatic pore pressures of up to 100 and 50 MPa, respectively
can be simulated. In addition in-situ temperature requirements of up to 200°C can be met. The use of corrosion resistant parts
throughout the pore pressure system allows investigations with highly saline formation fluids. Rock permeability, electrical
conductivity as well as compressional- and shear-wave velocities can be measured simultaneously and the pore fluid can be
sampled under pressure for further chemical analysis. Scientifically, the usage of the device focuses on risk potentials in
exploration and exploitation of deep geothermal reservoirs. Particularly, the investigations address possible effects of fluid-rock
interactions on the transport properties of a reservoir host rock. |
