Abstract:

In the process of transforming the Mahu conglomerate reservoirs in the Junggar basin from large-scale development to profitable development,it is particularly important to select reasonable fracturing parameters under the premise of considering economic benefits. In order to realize the optimization of key fracturing parameters for the Mahu conglomerate reservoirs,an equivalent KGD fracture propagation model was established to realize the rapid estimation of fracture shape. By using the heuristic particle swarm optimization algorithm and taking the rate of return as the objective function,a combined optimization on fracturing scale, cluster number and displacement was carried out for pay zones in the Mahu conglomerate reservoirs. The optimization results show that with the increase of the iteration number,the high-cost development plan finally converges to a combined optimization plan with the best comprehensive development effect,thus enabling the optimization of fracturing parameters for Ma 131 block.

Key words: Junggar basin, Mahu conglomerate reservoir, horizontal well fracturing, fracturing parameter, optimization, particle swarm optimization algorithm, rate of return, profitable development
