NdinguCole Bennett, ingcali yokugrumba echithe iminyaka elishumi kwishishini leoyile negesi—kunye nezifundo ezintlanu zokugqibela zokugrumba nzulu kwiiprojekthi ze-geothermal kulo lonke elaseNtshona Melika. Ukugrumba nge-geothermal akuyonto inyukayo ukusuka ekugrumbeni ngeoyile; luvavanyo oluqatha lwezinto. Sithetha ngokukruqula nge-granite evakala ngathi kukugrumba ngentsimbi eqinileyo, ukunyamezela amaqondo obushushu angaphantsi komhlaba afikelela kwi-350°F (177°C), kunye nokulwa nokuguguleka okuqhubekayo okuvela kwiindlela ezirhabaxa nezinoxinzelelo oluphezulu. Kangangeminyaka, bendigrumba phakathi kwezinto eziqinileyo ezazithembisa iziphumo "ezitshintsha umdlalo" kodwa zaphela xa ndijongene neemeko ze-geothermal zehlabathi lokwenyani. Konke oko kwatshintsha xa ndandiqala ukusebenzisa.I-compact ephuculweyo yedayimani ekhonkrithikwiprojekthi eseNevada. Emva kokuyivavanya kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwizakhiwo zebasalt zaseOregon ukuya kumasimi obushushu obuphezulu baseCalifornia, ndilapha ukuze ndithi: le ayisiyonto nje inzima kakhulu—sisisombululo ebesilinde sona.
Umphetho Omfutshane: Amandla Adlula Kwilitye Eliqinileyo LeGeothermal
Ukwakheka kwe-geothermal akumelani nje nokugqobhoza—kuyatyhalela emva. Amazinyo emveli asicaba aqinileyo asasaza amandla phezu komhlaba obanzi, oko kuthetha ukuba ayatsiba kwilitye elixineneyo okanye aguge emva kweenyawo ezimbalwa zokuqhubela phambili. I-compact ephuculweyo yedayimani eyi-conical diamond ilungisa oku ngesimo sayo esincinci esenziwe ngokuchanekileyo, esakhiwe kwitekhnoloji ye-polycrystalline diamond composite core. Endaweni yokucinezela edwaleni, igxininisa amandla okugqobhoza kumgca obukhali, oqinileyo wokusika—njengokusebenzisa i-precision chisel endaweni yesando esibuthuntu. Kunyaka ophelileyo, besigqobhoza umthombo we-geothermal oziimitha eziyi-6,500 kumantla eNevada, apho i-75% yokwakheka kwayo yi-42,000+ psi granite. Saqala ngamazinyo asicaba aqinileyo okhuphiswano oluphezulu, umyinge weenyawo ezi-7 ngeyure. Umzuzu esatshintshana ngawo ukuya kwiibhithi ezifakwe i-Conical diamond ephuculweyo compact, satsiba saya kwi-12.3 feet ngeyure—phantse nge-76% ngokukhawuleza. Uyilo olunciphileyo lwemba edwaleni ngaphandle kokutyibilika, lunqumla ukwakheka okuqinileyo ngokungathi yi-sandstone ethambileyo. Kwi-geothermal, apho unyawo ngalunye lokugrumba lubiza amawakawaka, olo hlobo lwamandla okungena alulunganga nje kuphela—lubalulekile.
Ukumelana nobushushu kunye nokuguguleka: Phumelela kumaqondo obushushu aphezulu eGeothermal
Ukuba ilitye eliqinileyo litshaba lokuqala lokugrumba nge-geothermal, ubushushu obugqithisileyo lolwesibini. Kubunzulu obungaphezulu kweenyawo ezingama-5,000, amaqondo obushushu angaphantsi komhlaba apheka izinto ezincinci, athambisa imiphetho yazo yokusika aze aguqule amazinyo abukhali abe ziingceba ezingasebenziyo. I-conical diamond ephuculweyo yakhiwe ukuze imelane nesi sohlwayo: i-carbide substrate eqinileyo eqinisiweyo ebotshelelwe kumaleko wedayimani otyebileyo, ophathwa ngobushushu ogcina ukuqina kwawo nokuba kuma-350°F. Kwiprojekthi eSalton Sea Geothermal Field yaseCalifornia—enye yezona ndawo zishushu kakhulu ze-geothermal e-US—sayithelekisa nenye indlela ethandwayo ye-superhard. Iinxalenye zomncintisani zihlale iiyure ezili-18 kuphela ngaphambi kokuba kufuneke zitshintshwe, zigrumba ngeenyawo ezili-160. I-conical diamond ephuculweyo yasebenza iiyure ezingama-34 ngokuthe tye, igrumba ngeenyawo ezingama-310—phantse iphindwe kabini—ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa bubukhali okanye amandla olwakhiwo. Akukho kutshabalala kobushushu, akukho kuqhekeka, akukho kusilela kungalindelekanga. Kubasebenzi be-geothermal, oko kuthetha ukuba kukho ukuhamba okuncinci ngaphandle kwe-wellbore, ixesha lokungasebenzi lincinci, kwaye iindleko zincitshiswe ngama-30% nangaphezulu.
Ukususwa kweeSika ezisikiweyo ngokufanelekileyo: Kuphephe ukuQokelela udaka, Qhubeka nokugrumba
Ukugrumba nge-geothermal kuxhomekeke kudaka olunamandla aphezulu ukulawula uxinzelelo kunye nokupholisa iqhekeza, kodwa olo daka lunesiphako esikhulu: lubamba iziqwenga zamatye, ludala "ukugquma kodaka" okusila ukugrumba kuyeke. Amazinyo aqinileyo aqinileyo ayingozi ekulahlekeni kwenkunkuma—iziqwenga ziyaqokelelana ebusweni beqhekeza, zikhupha i-torque kwaye zisinyanzela ukuba sitsale iqhekeza ukuze licocwe (inkqubo echitha iiyure ezi-2-3 ngesiganeko ngasinye). Iprofayili ethambileyo ye-compact ephuculweyo yedayimani eyi-conical isombulula oku ngemijelo yendalo, eyakhelwe ngaphakathi ekhokela iziqwenga ukusuka kumda wokusika ukuya kumsinga wodaka. Ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, besinomthombo e-Idaho apho ukugquma kodaka kwakubangela iiyure ezingaphezu kwezi-3 zokungasebenzi yonke imihla. Sitshintshele kwiibhithi ezixhotyiswe ngeI-compact ephuculweyo yedayimani ekhonkrithi, kwaye ixesha lokungasebenzi lehle laya kwimizuzu engama-30 iyonke. I-Torque yehle ngama-27%, kwaye sigqibe ii-220 iinyawo ezingaphezulu kunequla elikufutshane sisebenzisa amazinyo aqinileyo aqinileyo. Kwi-geothermal, apho umzuzu ngamnye wokungasebenzi utya inzuzo, olo hlobo lokusebenza lutshintsha umdlalo.
Emva kweminyaka elishumi ndisebenza kweli candelo, ndifunde ukuba impumelelo yobushushu bomhlaba ayikokufumana izinto “ezisindayo”—kodwa kukufumana ezo *zisebenza* phantsi kwesohlwayo.I-compac ephuculweyo yedayimani ekhonkrithityenza kanye loo nto: iyasika kakhulu, ihlala ixesha elide, kwaye igcina ukubhola kuhamba xa ezinye izinto ziyeka. Kuye nabani na odiniweyo yi-ROP ecothayo, utshintsho oluqhelekileyo lweebhithi, kunye neendleko ezikhulayo kwiiprojekthi ze-geothermal, le ayisiyonto inzima nje—sisisitshixo sokubhola okunenzuzo nokusebenzayo.
