FENG Ning, PENG Xiaolong, XUE Xiaojun, et al. Numerical simulation of spatial-braided bow-shape well pattern development in shallow tight reservoir[J]. Petroleum Reservoir Evaluation and Development, 2021, 11(6): 897-904.DOI:
the hydraulic fracturing tends to produce horizontal fractures. For the horizontal wells
multi-stage fracturing is easy to generate only one large horizontal fracture
which leads to poor stimulation effect. However
the single well mode of “bow-shape horizontal well + multi-stage horizontal fractures” can not effectively explore this kind of reservoir. In order to further improve the production degree of shallow tight reservoir
the development mode of spatial-braided well pattern in shallow tight reservoir is proposed based on the feasibility of shallow reservoir drilling
and the numerical simulation is used to verify the effectiveness of spatial-braided well pattern. The numerical simulation results show that under the same number of wells and drilling footage
the oil production
cumulative oil production and reservoir recovery degree of spatial-braided well pattern are higher than those of the opposite well pattern and staggered well pattern. However
with the expansion of the fracture scale in horizontal fracturing
the gap with staggered well pattern decreases. At the same time
according to the simulation
the reverse 7-point pattern water injection not only replenishes the formation energy
but also changes the seepage state
so that the remaining oil in the regional edge and between wells can be effectively displaced
and the recovery rate is significantly improved. The researches provide efficient development method for the efficient development of shallow tight reservoir.
