摘要: Steering fracturing can expand the drainage area of low permeability reservoirs and achieve the effect of volume fracturing. However, the fractures induced by steering fracturing are complicated, and should be finely characterized to accurately predict the post-fracturing productivity. Based on the production data from Karamay oilfield, and in view of the characteristics of steering fractures, a mathematical model of single-phase flow was established, and a grid refinement technology was used to densify the steering fractures. Field application has proved that the oil production after steering fracturing was 5.3 times higher than that of conventional fracturing. The factors influencing the productivity after steering fracturing were evaluated and the result shows that the production is positively correlated with reservoir per permeability, steering fracture length and conductivity of initial induced fractures, but not necessarily depending on steering fractures to get a high flow conductivity.
