Experimental Research on Electric Analogy of Staged Fracturing of Horizontal Wells Flooding

Abstract

An electrolytic simulation experiment was designed according to the water and electricity resembling principle. The pressure contour distribution and the effects of the productivity of the fractured horizontal well were experimentally studied under the flooding. The equal pressure lines around horizontal wells were elliptic, and the equal pressure lines were Parallelled distribution in the fracture of horizontal well, Flow states was unidirectional flow, indicating staged fracturing of horizontal well by improving Percolation way greatly reduce seepage resistance. Under the experimental conditions, staged fracturing horizontal waterflooding development best combination of parameters: row and staggered well pattern, penetration ratio of horizontal section was 0.8, the number of fractures should be 6 (fracture space was 91m), penetration ratio of fracture was 0.25, the angle between the fracture and horizontal well is 90 degree. The importance ranking of productivity was horizontal length, the number of fractures (fracture space ),fracture length, he angle between the fracture and horizontal well and well-pattern type.
