Abstract: A structural stabilizer for a fiber and proppant complex to enhance proppant migration and placement in a fractured well during propping and a preparation method thereof are provided. The structural stabilizer consists of: water, inorganic salt, kaolinite, nitrogen-doped modified graphene oxide, anionic surfactant, non-ionic alkyl polyglucoside, and polyacrylamide. The structural stabilizer improves bonding between a proppant and a fiber when slick water is used in stimulated reservoir volume (SRV) fracturing, prevents separation of the fiber and the proppant during migration, thereby reducing escape rate of the fiber from the fiber and proppant complex.

Abstract: A method for determining sand pumping parameters based on width distribution of fracture, including: acquire basic parameters of a target reservoir, simulate a propagation of the fracture, and obtain a propagation pattern and width distribution of the fracture; determine a maximum proppant particle size for entering the fracture at all width levels according to statistical results of the width distribution of the fracture; determine a multi-size combination of proppants according to a mapping table for particle size vs mesh of proppants, and determine an initial ratio of the proppant with each particle size; conduct a numerical simulation of proppant transportation in the fracture to determine a retention ratio of the proppants with each particle size; correct the initial ratio of the proppants with each particle size; calculate an amount of the proppants with each particle size according to the final ratio and the sand pumping intensity and fracturing interval length.
