Abstract

The physical property of Chang 6 reservoir in Yanchang oilfield is poor, and the heterogeneity is strong. Multistage fracturing of horizontal wells is easy to form only one large horizontal fracture, but it is difficult to control the fracture height and length. The new mining method of “bow horizontal well + multistage horizontal joint” can effectively increase the multistage horizontal joint’s spatial position, which improves the drainage area and stimulation efficiency of oil wells. Due to the reservoir’s low permeability and strong heterogeneity, the single well mode of “bow horizontal well + multistage horizontal fracture” cannot effectively produce Chang 6 reservoir. To improve the production degree of the g 6 reservoir, the fracture model is established using equivalent conductivity and the multigrid method. The pressure response functions of horizontal wells and volume fracturing horizontal wells are established by using the source function, and the relationship between reservoir permeability and starting pressure gradient in the block is calculated. On this basis, the reservoir productivity equation of the block is established, which provides a basis for optimizing the fracturing design parameters of horizontal wells. It is proposed that the flow unit should be considered in the design of fracturing parameters of horizontal fractures, the number of fractures should comprehensively consider whether the fractures can make each flow unit be used, and have large controlled reserves, and the scale of fracturing should comprehensively consider the output and cost. The fracture network model is established by using equivalent conductivity and multi-gridthod, and the volume fracturing design parameters of horizontal wells are optimized, considering the seepage characteristics of the flow unit. The fracturing design parameters of the horizontal section are further defined, which provides a theoretical basis for the efficient development of shallow tight reservoirs.
