Experimental study on seepage flow patterns of fine controlled fractured thin and poor reservoirs
Experiments for seepage flow patterns in thin and poor reservoirs could be carried out by the plate models made by artificial core designed based on the similarity theory. Pressure gradient distribution in fractured thin and poor reservoir by fine controlling was revealed based on the pressure data
and the sketch maps of seepage flow sections were drew to study on seepage flow patterns of fine controlled fractured thin and poor reservoir qualitatively and quantitatively. Experiment results showed that seepage flow patterns in thin and poor reservoirs were greatly influenced by permeability
heterogeneity and fine controlled fracturing cracks while the thin and poor reservoirs had low permeability and strong homogeneity. Fine controlled fracturing could reduce the negative influence of low permeability and strong heterogeneity. Thin and poor reservoirs could be divided into the non seepage flow section
the nonlinear seepage flow section and the quasi linear seepage flow section. The non seepage flow section was reduced by over 72 % after fine controlled fracturing
the area for fluid flowing through increased correspondingly
and the proportion of quasi linear percolation area which was more conducive to fluid flow raised by at least 86 %.
