Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of hydraulic fracturing simulation experiments, in particular to a supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing simulation experiment device. Background technique [0002] The hydraulic fracturing process consumes a large amount of water resources. The anhydrous fracturing technology basically does not use water, which relieves the pressure on the demand for water resources. At present, it has not been widely used in China. Conventional fracturing fluids contain water or various chemical reagents, and the residues cause damage to fracture permeability, thereby reducing the effect of fracturing stimulation. In order to reduce the damage of conventional fracturing fluids to formations, especially low-permeability, low-pressure, and water-sensitive oil and gas reservoirs, supercritical carbon dioxide fracturing technology has emerged. Due to its combination of fluidity of gas and high density of liquid, supercritical carbon ...
