Fracture Parameters Optimization of BZ Oilfield Horizontal Well Integral Fracturing

Abstract:

Horizontal well technology has become an important technological means for offshore oilfield exploitation, but at present, most of the fracture parameters optimization of horizontal well fracturing are based on the single wells productivity after fracturing and pay less attention to consider the impact of injection wells.Therefore, aiming at injection and production development mode of BZ oilfield horizontal wells after fracturing, Integral fracturing physical model and productivity forecast mathematical model of horizontal well for the purpose of improving integrated exploitation benefit of the block is established respectively.Combining with reservoir parameters of BZ oilfield, a corresponding numerical simulator is developed by means of solving mathematical model to forecast production performance of oil well with different fracture number, fracture length, fracture conductivity. The best fracture parameters are obtained through analyzing the effect of fracture parameters on accumulative oil production, which provides theoretical foundation for integral fracturing optimization design of horizontal well of BZ oilfields, and has vital site guiding significance.
