AI Technical Summary
The low success rate of current shale oil fracturing operations is mainly due to the development of clay minerals, which leads to small discharge volume and high pressure during operation. In addition, the development of shale fracture layers makes it easy to form complex fractures, resulting in rapid fracturing fluid loss, large fracture angles, narrow fracture widths, and difficulty in adding sand.
Pre-fracturing acid extrusion treatment was adopted to improve permeability. Combining material erosion theory and intra-fracture fluid flow model, a dynamic optimization and adjustment model for construction parameters in the low sand ratio slug stage was established. The proppant concentration and fracturing fluid viscosity were adjusted to maximize erosion efficiency, control near-wellhead fracture morphology, and reduce friction.
It improved the success rate of fracturing operations and sand addition completion rate in shale oil wells, reduced the risk of sand blockage, and significantly improved the construction effect.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shale oil fracturing construction, and particularly relates to a fracturing process pretreatment method for ensuring the success rate of shale oil fracturing construction. BACKGROUND
[0002] The shale oil reservoir geological conditions are unique, clay minerals develop, the average content is 35.6%, the permeability is less than 0.01*10 -3 μm 2 , horizontal foliation layer develops, vertical fractures are opened along the principal stress direction in the fracturing process, and multiple horizontal fractures along the foliation surface are opened, forming a complex network fracture in the shape of a Chinese character 'feng'. At present, the shale oil reservoir reconstruction mainly adopts the fracturing mode of close cutting + large-displacement injection of slickwater gel liquid + combined proppant slug + continuous addition, the composite reconstruction mode of high-viscosity main fracture and low-viscosity foliation opening, and the longitudinal development degree and fracture complexity of the reservoir are improved. However, the success rate of shale oil fracturing construction in the same block as before is only 78.6%, and the main reasons for the low success rate of construction are as follows: first, the clay minerals develop in the shale oil reservoir of Gulong, and the nano-scale pores are mainly formed, which causes small displacement and high pressure during construction, and the construction is difficult; second, the foliation layer develops in the shale oil reservoir of Gulong, and the complex fracture in the shape of a Chinese character 'feng' is easily formed near the wellbore during construction, which leads to fast filtration of fracturing fluid, large fracture corner, narrow fracture width, easy sanding, and difficult sanding, and the construction is difficult.
