Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) The influence of natural fractures on proppant migration in fractures cannot be simulated;
[0005] (2) The influence of reservoir bedding fractures on proppant migration in fractures cannot be simulated;
[0006] (3) The migration law of proppant in the fracture cannot be simulated during cluster perforation fracturing;
[0007] (4) In the "factory" fracturing process, the influence of interstage interference between adjacent wells on the flow of proppant migration cannot be ignored. Without simulating this process, it is impossible to truly reflect the flow of proppant migration in multi-well fracturing. reality

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a simulation device, in particular to a visualization experiment device for simulating the migration of proppant in a complex fracture network during hydraulic fracturing. Background technique [0002] Shale reservoirs have low porosity, low permeability, bedding, and natural micro-fractures, so it is difficult to achieve efficient development by conventional mining methods. Multi-stage fracturing technology for horizontal wells can form complex fracture networks, increase the volume of reservoir stimulation, and greatly improve gas well production and gas reservoir recovery. Especially the slick water fracturing technology for shale reservoirs can And other characteristics, can more effectively improve the complexity of the hydraulic fracture network and increase the reservoir stimulated volume (SRV). However, the complex fracture network and the low sand-carrying capacity of slick water have a huge impact on the effective su...
