In order to reveal the hydraulic fracturing mechanism and expansion law of carbonate reservoir in enhanced geothermal system (EGS) under the multi-field coupling of thermo-hydro-mechanical-damage (THMD), the carbonate rock in Xinghua area of Jiangsu Province was selected as the research object, and its key parameters were obtained through indoor rock physical and mechanical experiments. Based on this, a multi-field coupling numerical model was constructed, and a high-temperature and high-pressure true triaxial hydraulic fracturing experiment was carried out to verify the validity of the model, and the sensitivity analysis of parameters was carried out by using the model. The results show that high temperature significantly reduces rock fracture pressure and promotes crack initiation and propagation. Increasing confining pressure can inhibit crack extension, but cause a sharp increase in fracture pressure. Reducing the horizontal stress difference is beneficial to the formation of complex fracture network. The high injection flow rate can increase the length of the main fracture, but it is easy to cause the burst pressure to rise sharply. The research conclusions provide a basis for the optimization of fracturing parameters and the development of hot dry rock in Xinghua area.
