However, due to the insufficient permeability of the reservoir, the exploitation efficiency is very low, and at the same time, the exploitation is very difficult, often requiring fracturing reconstruction and permeability improvement operation to improve the exploitation efficiency. At the present stage, the fracturing mode is mainly hydraulic fracturing, but the hydraulic fracturing technology has a series of problems such as difficult liquid discharge, waste of water resources, and serious environmental pollution.
[0003] In order to effectively improve the fracturing effect of unconventional natural gas reservoirs, and to avoid various disadvantages of hydraulic fracturing, some scholars have proposed a reservoir methane in-situ combustion fracturing technology. The technology uses reservoir methane as fuel, forms methane-combustion-supporting agent mixed gas at the well bottom or in the reservoir by artificially putting combustion-supporting agent, and produces instantaneous combustion high pressure by methane-combustion-supporting agent mixed gas explosion to crack the reservoir and form impact cracks, so as to form a complex three-dimensional fracture network, and finally realize the production and permeability improvement operation of unconventional natural gas reservoirs. On this basis, the combustion fracturing bomb fracturing method mixes methane-combustion-supporting agent in the combustion device in advance, arranges and ignites the combustion-supporting agent according to the needs of the reservoir to perform combustion fracturing, so that the combustion fracturing process is more modular and convenient.
[0004] However, the pre-mixed method of the traditional fracturing bomb has great hidden dangers in the production, transportation and operation of the fracturing bomb, and therefore, it is urgent to provide a new multi-stage pulse targeted segmented fracturing method to effectively improve the safety factor.

Meanwhile, the method realizes the multi-stage segmented combustion fracturing operation of the fracturing well section through the separate arrangement of the combustion fracturing bombs along the well section, and strengthens the fracture forming effect of the reservoir. The whole fracturing process of the method is carried out in the well, so that the safety risk caused by the ground operation can be avoided, and meanwhile, the damage to the wellbore and the reservoir can be effectively reduced through the accurate control of the delivery amount of the combustion-supporting agent and the combustion time. Compared with the traditional hydraulic fracturing technology, the method does not need to consume a large amount of water resources and fracturing fluid, and also does not need large-scale fracturing equipment and a large amount of water resources, so that the water resource pollution and the damage to the ground ecology are reduced, and the fracturing cost is also reduced.
