Features: This book is a systematic treatise on the theory and technology of geothermal development in high-temperature rock masses. The book is divided into 7 chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the progress of high-temperature rock mass geothermal resources and their development principles and technologies internationally, and analyze and predict the development of typical high-temperature rock mass geothermal resources in China. Chapter 3 systematically introduces the physical and mechanical properties of rock masses under high temperature and high pressure, as well as their thermal fracturing characteristics. Chapters 4 and 5 provide detailed descriptions of the systematic design, deep drilling construction, artificial reservoir formation, production monitoring, and economic evaluation of development costs for high-temperature rock mass geothermal development. Chapter 6 provides a detailed introduction to the theory of high-temperature rock mass geothermal resources and their exploitation. Chapter 7 proposes some conceptual plans for the development of high-temperature rock mass geothermal resources in the Yangbajing area of Tibet, the Tengchong area of Yunnan, and the northern area of Hainan. The book is rich in content and well-documented, serving as a reference for researchers, teachers and students, and managers in geological, mining, and energy research departments, as well as in land resource planning and development departments.
