A New Method of Fracture Designing to Elevate SRV in Natural Fractured Sandstone Reservoir

Abstract:

This paper firstly analyze the relationship between the fracture net pressure and the sand to fluid ratio (SOR), and the conclusion is that the high SOR could accumulate high net pressure to make the natural fractures open in natural fractured sandstone reservoir. Then relationship between the cumulative oil production and opening the natural fractures is analyzed by means of reservoir numerical simulation, and the conclusion is that the cumulative oil production increased apparently as the area of opening natural fractures increasing. Based on the analyses, a new method of optimizing fracture conductivity to elevate the stimulating reservoir volume (SRV) was formed: firstly, evaluate the stress field and calculate the critical net pressure of the natural fractures opening; secondly, determine the average proppant concentration according the relationship between the net pressure and proppant concentration; thirdly, calculate the fracture conductivity according to the proppant concentration; at last, optimize the fracture length. There are two key works: one is acquiring the accurate principal stress combining the indoor experiment and field test; the other one is acquiring accurate conductivity of proppant, and long term conductivity experiments are recommended.
