Abstract
- Reservoir stimulation using hydraulic fracturing technology is one of the most common stimulation measures to develop tight oil and gas reservoirs, and the conductivity of fractures after fracturing is the key to the stimulation effect of oil fields. In this paper, the laboratory simulation system of fracture conductivity is used to study the long‐term fracture conductivity under the displacement of formation water and fracturing fluid. The experimental results show that the fracture conductivity decreases with the increase of displacement time under the displacement of formation water and fracturing fluid, and the decrease of fracture conductivity under the displacement of fracturing fluid with time is greater than that of formation water displacement because of the plugging effect of fracturing fluid residue on pore channels. The use of formation water and fracturing fluid circulation displacement can delay the decline rate of conductivity with time. The conductivity increases with the increase of sand concentration, proppant particle size, and elastic modulus, and decreases with the increase of closure pressure. In addition, by studying the influence of elastic modulus on fracture width, it is found that the smaller the elastic modulus is, the more serious the embedding phenomenon of proppant is, and the smaller the fracture width is.
