Abstract

Based on analysis of the reasons for low efficiency and low production after fracturing of some wells in the ultra-deep tight reservoirs of the Kuqa piedmont zone, Tarim Basin and the matching relationship between the in-situ stress field and natural fractures, technological methods for creating complex fracture networks are proposed. Through theoretical study and large-scale physical simulation experiments, the mechanical conditions for forming complex fracture network in the Kuqa iedmont zone are determined. The effectiveness of temporary plugging and diversion, and multi-stage fracturing to activate natural fractures and consequently realize multi-stage diversion is verified. The coupling effect of hydraulic fractures and natural fractures activating each other and resulting in "fracture swarms" is observed. These insights provide theoretical and experimental support for improving fracture-controlled stimulated reservoir volume (FSRV) in ultra-deep tight reservoirs. In addition, following the concept of volume fracturing technology and based on the results of fracture conductivity experiments of different processes, fracturing technologies such as multi-stage fracture-network acid fracturing, "multi-stage temporary plugging + secondary fracturing", fracturing of multiple small layers by vertically softness-and-hardness-oriented subdivision, and weighted-fluid refracturing are proposed to increase the FSRV. A new fracturing fluid system with low viscosity and high proppant-carrying capacity is also developed. These techniques have achieved remarkable results in field application.

Key words： ultra-deep reservoir; tight reservoir; natural fracture; fracture-controlled reservoir volume; temporary plugging; secondary fracturing; weighted fracturing fluid
