    摘要: Disclosed is a method for exploiting underground resources with a negative thixotropic fluid. The method includes: determining a fault distribution and structural features according to a stratum structure and hydrogeological data; forming a connected fracture network in a stratum through a hydraulic fracturing method; injecting the negative thixotropic fluid into the stratum by means of an injection well at a set injection pressure, to fill a fault and a fracture network with the negative thixotropic fluid; gradually increasing an injection pressure of the negative thixotropic fluid until the fault or a fracture in the reservoir is induced to generate a slip, and stopping injection; forcing the negative thixotropic fluid that loses negative thixotropy out of the fault and the fracture network; and carrying out production operation until the set production condition is reached, and injecting a negative thixotropy fluid anew to execute steps circularly.
