Abstract

The application discloses a construction method and application of a temporary plugging agent. The construction method of the temporary plugging agent comprises the following steps: temporary plugging agent construction parameter optimization, including optimization of a temporary plugging agent particle size range; temporary plugging agent construction; through two-step particle size range screening, a temporary plugging agent with a narrow particle size distribution, which is narrower than a particle size range of a temporary plugging agent in the prior art, is evaluated and screened out; the temporary plugging agent with the narrow particle size distribution can improve a clump ratio of the temporary plugging agent in a conveying process, improve flowability and followability of the temporary plugging agent, further, construction parameters such as a concentration of the temporary plugging agent in a carrying fluid, viscosity of the carrying fluid and displacement are optimized, so that temporary plugging effect of the temporary plugging agent is further improved, thereby, fracture complexity is greatly improved, and volume fracturing reconstruction efficiency is effectively improved.
