Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The completion simulation experiment is an important means to carry out the completion technology research. In order to simulate the formation state in the completion process, the rock sample used for the experiment needs to be prepared according to the requirements. The rock sample preparation process can use natural rock for cutting and shaping, or can use raw materials for mixing, inject liquid raw materials into a mold for shaping, or use high-strength stamping equipment to press the raw materials from powder state into shape. The natural rock cutting and shaping preparation method has the advantages of not needing a mold and being able to make any rock sample into any shape, but has the problems of difficult collection and transportation of raw rock samples, long cutting and polishing time, and some rock samples with the required properties are less and expensive. The powder pressing sample preparation method has the advantages of good isotropy of the prepared rock sample and convenient rock powder material, but also has the disadvantages of needing to make a mold and using a high-pressure punch. At the same time, the stamping sample has certain requirements for the shape of the mold, which makes it difficult to complete the preparation of some rock samples with certain space forms. Relatively, the liquid injection sample has good feasibility, and only needs to reasonably mix the raw materials and make the corresponding mold to prepare.
