국내의 12개소 저산출 우물을 대상으로, 외국의 유정들에서의 산출량 증대를 위하여 많이 사용되고있는 인공수압파쇄 방법을 적용하여 산출성 증대 효과를 검증하였다. 12개소에 대하여 수압파쇄시험 전후로 양수 시험을 실시하여 투수성 증대 등의 효과와 비양수량을 정량적으로 평가한 결과, 비양수량의 경우 전체적으로 평균 약 45%의 증가하였으며 투수량계수 또한 약 26%가 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 인공수압파쇄 방법이 대수층내 열극의 생성 혹은 확장 및 균열내의 막힘(clog) 물질 제거를 통해 투수성을 상당히 개선시킨 것으로 평가된다. 특히, 현재까지의 시험 결과, 퇴적암류 지역에서 보다 화성암류 지역에서의 시험 결과가 양호하게 나타났다. 화성암 지역에서 개발된 홍천에서의 사례를 볼 때, 고압의 주입을 통하여 상부 및 하부의 파쇄대가 확장 연결되고, 이들 파쇄 열극에 부착된 광물학적, 생물학적 막힘 물질이 제거되면서 산출성이 증대되는 것으로 나타났다.

There are two case history. One is the case of 3 wells-group well system-drilled and artificially hydrofractured for dewatering to help to excavate and treat deep building foundation. The recoveries of groundwater of 3 wells are increased 29%, 42% and 110% respectively through hydrofracturing. Simultaneous pumping test reveals that 3 wells are geohydrologically interconnected considering lowered specific capacity comprising influence of additional drawdown effect by other 2 wells compared to single well test. Response time effect during single well test shows that dorminant lineaments are more expandable to other geological structures. The other one is the case of 28% increasing of groundwater productivity for domestic use by hydrofracturing.

To increase the yield from groundwater wells in various rock types by hydrofracturing, tests of 12 wells were carried out as a part of sustainable groundwater development and artificial recharge project. Test wells are selected 5 wells in Jurassic granites, 2 wells in Cretaceous volcanics, 4 wells in Cretaceous sedimentary rocks and one well in Pre-Cambrian gneiss. The results show that specific capacity of II wells increased about 7% to 366%, while a well in Cretaceous sedimentary rock decreased about 43.4% owing to plugging of fault clay. Meanwhile, impact distances influenced due to hydrofracturing ranged from 5.4 m to 82.7 m from the test wells, actual drawdown data measured during the pumping test after hydrofracturing are more or less decreased and reveals balanced drawdown.

The hydraulic fracturing developed to improve permeability of tight reservoir is one of key stimulation technologies for developing unconventional resources such as shale gas and deep geothermal energy. The experimental study was conducted to improve disadvantage of hydraulic fracturing which has simple fracture pattern and poor fracturing efficiency. The fracturing experiments was conducted for tight rock using various fracturing fluids, water, N2, and CO2 and the created fracture pattern and fracturing efficiency was analyzed depending on fracturing fluids. The borehole pressure increased rapidly and then made fractures for hydraulic fracturing with constant injection rate, however, gas fracturing shows slowly increased pressure and less fracture pressure. The 3D tomography technic was used to generate images of induced fracture using hydraulic and gas fracturing. The stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) was estimated increment of 5.71% (water), 12.72% (N2), and 43.82% (CO2) respectively compared to initial pore volume. In addition, permeability measurement was carried out before and after fracturing experiments and the enhanced permeability by gas fracturing showed higher than hydraulic fracturing. The fracture conductivity was measured by increasing confining stress to consider newly creating fracture and closing induced fracture right after fracturing. When the confining stress was increased from 2MPa to 10MPa, the initial permeability was decreased by 89% (N2) and 50% (CO2) respectively. This study shows that the gas fracturing makes more permeability enhancement and less reduction of induced fracture conductivity than hydraulic fracturing.
