Patent ID: 11542801

Abstract:
The present invention discloses an optimized design method for a temporary blocking agent to promote uniform expansion of fractures produced by fracturing in horizontal wells, which comprises the following steps: calculating a particle size and a volume range of a candidate temporary blocking agent in an applicable target area; establishing a hydraulic fracture expansion calculation model with complete fluid-solid coupling; calculating an optimal average particle size required for effective temporary blocking; determining the particle size distribution of the temporarily blocked particles according to the optimal average particle size; calculating the particle volume of the temporary blocking agent required for effective temporary blocking; and predicting and evaluating a fracturing effect after the preferred temporary blocking design is adopted in the target area. The optimized design method for the temporary blocking agent to promote uniform expansion of fractures produced by fracturing in horizontal wells is used for improving the uniformity of fracture development of staged multi-cluster fracturing in horizontal wells, and has practicability and accuracy.
