Abstract:
Staged multi-cluster fracturing of horizontal wells is a commonly used stimulation method in unconventional reservoirs. The ultimate goal is to increase capital efficiency by placing a dense fracture network more contained within the producing formation. However, the increase in the number of perforation clusters usually leads to a large number of clusters becoming inefficient. To improve perforation cluster efficiency, the method of using diverters to plug the main fracture to open new fractures is employed, but the key lies in how to control the diverters entry into the target fracture. In this paper, a visual multi-perforation device is established to investigate the diverter transport behavior in the horizontal wellbore.
