    Modelling Acid-Rock Interactions and Mineral Dissolution During RMA Stimulation Test Performed at the Soultz-sous-Forêts EGS Site, France

    The Soultz EGS reservoir’s response to chemical stimulation is assessed by numerical simulation of coupled thermo-hydraulic-chemical processes. To assess chemical interactions between host rocks and a mixture of HCl and HF as well as its potential effects on the Soultz EGS reservoir, new modelling efforts using the FRACHEM code have been initiated. This paper presents the model calibration and results. Simulations consider realistic conditions with available data sets from the EGS system at Soultz. Results indicate that the predicted amount of fracture sealing minerals dissolved by injection of a mixture of acids (RMA) was consistent with the estimated amount from the test performed on GPK4 well at Soultz EGS site. Consequently reservoir porosity and permeability can be enhanced especially near the injection well by acidizing treatment.

    L’impact de la stimulation chimique sur le réservoir du Système Géothermal Stimulé (SGS) de Soultz est évalué par simulation numérique des processus couplés thermo-hydraulique-chimique. Les modélisations 2-D simplifiées du réservoir ont pour but d’interpréter et de prévoir les interactions acides-roche dans le granite fracturé du système géothermal stimulé de Soultz-sous-Forêts. Pour évaluer les interactions chimiques entre la roche hôte et un mélange de HCl et HF, ainsi que les effets potentiels du traitement chimique sur le réservoir SGS de Soultz, une nouvelle calibration du code FRACHEM a été intégrée. Les résultats de la simulation indiquent que la quantité prévue de minéraux dissous par injection d’un mélange d’acides Regular Mud Acid (RMA) est comparable au montant estimé lors du test de stimulation chimique du puits GPK4 sur le site SGS de Soultz. Par conséquent, la porosité et la perméabilité du réservoir peuvent être améliorées près du puits d’injection par la stimulation chimique., The Soultz Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) reservoir's response to chemical stimulation is assessed by numerical simulation of coupled thermo-hydraulic-chemical processes.

    Rock matrix stimulation is a method of enhancing well production or injection within a broad range of challenging environments, varying from naturally fractured limestones to sandstones with complex mineralogy. A common and often successful stimulation option, matrix acidizing, utilizes acids that react and remove mineral phases restricting fluid flow. Reviewed is the technology of chemical treatments available for oil, gas and geothermal wells and the key elements and results of the chemical reservoir stimulation program at the Soultz-sous-Forêts, France, Enhanced Geothermal System Project.
