Abstract:

Hydraulic fracturing has found more and more applications in low permeability reservoir of Xihu oil and gas field in recent years. It is of great guiding significance to the selection of well and layer for fracturing and fracturing design to study the main factors affecting the fracturing result in low permeability reservoir in offshore oil field. We analyze such factors through gray correlation method and fuzzy curve method. The results show that the main factors affecting the fracturing result in the test areas are well testing permeability, skin factor, geological reserves, sanding strength, porosity, and effective thickness. The two analysis methods lead to slightly different ranking results of the affecting factors, but with the same overall trend. Therefore, the main factors affecting the fracturing effect can be identified in this way.
