Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of experimental devices, and in particular to an experimental device for simulating the dynamic penetration depth of working fluid into the formation. Background Technology

[0002] Multi-stage horizontal well fracturing has become an important method for developing tight oil reservoirs. Fracturing significantly enhances reservoir permeability and improves oil recovery, making fracturing effectiveness evaluation a crucial step in tight oil reservoir development.

Therefore, penetration depth is undoubtedly an important indicator of fracturing effectiveness. However, the fracturing process is influenced by various geological and engineering factors, and the penetration depth of the fracturing fluid varies under different pressures and times, making it difficult to obtain a precise value for the penetration depth.
