After the horizontal well is modified by fracturing technology, artificial fractures are formed in the formation, and the fluid in the fractures enters the surrounding rock under the action of pressure difference, thereby displacing the crude oil in the rock. It is shown by relevant scholars that with the increasing of artificial fracture density, the field mining technology is gradually upgraded, and the inter-well displacement problem is transformed into the inter-fracture displacement problem in the same well, and the inter-fracture displacement and well shut-in for improving the producing degree of tight reservoirs have become an effective means for oil and gas exploitation.
