Abstract

Abstract The research on the mechanism of repeated fracturing fractures shows that the pressure drop caused by the initial fracturing fractures and the production activities of the oil layer in the repeated fracturing wells leads to changes in the stress field near the well, which causes the fractures to re-fract during the repeated fracturing process. Combining with the low permeability characteristics of Tongxi fault block reservoir in North China Oilfield, optimization of repeated fracturing parameters and selection of fracturing materials were carried out, and the principle of well selection and layer selection was put forward. The repeated fracturing technology was successfully implemented in the Tong47-43x well and achieved a good oil-increasing effect, which provided important technical measures for the next development of the Tongxi fault block reservoir.
