[0002] In oil and gas field development, perforation-fracturing combined technology is a key means to improve reservoir stimulation efficiency, but its practical application is limited by the shortcomings of traditional experimental methods. Traditional fracturing physical simulation experiments mostly use small-sized rock samples, which are difficult to accurately reflect the in-situ stress distribution, inter-stage stress differences, and dynamic effects of perforation in the reservoir. Small-sized rock samples cannot simulate the large-scale reservoir stress field distribution, leading to distortion of fracture propagation patterns; existing devices lack the integration capability of real perforation guns and cannot reproduce the impact of perforation explosion shock waves on fracture initiation; monitoring technologies are limited and cannot capture the complex fracture propagation behavior and fluid migration paths of multi-stage fracturing. These problems result in significant deviations between experimental data and field applications, necessitating the development of a physical simulation device based on large-sized rock samples, integrating real perforation guns, and supporting full-scale fracturing and electromagnetic pulse experiments, combined with microseismic and fiber optic monitoring technologies, to accurately evaluate the adaptability of the perforation-impact-fracturing combined process.
