  • Patent number: 11578261
    Abstract: The disclosed hydraulic fracturing fluid can include a liquid solvent, one or more surfactants, a proppant-forming compound, and one or more curing agents. When injected into a wellbore, the hydraulic fracturing fluid reacts to form proppant pillars in-situ under downhole conditions. The proppant pillars are capable of maintaining conductive fractures.

  • Patent number: 11578576
    Abstract: A method for characterizing complexity of rock fracture based on fractal dimension and a device thereof are provided. The method includes steps of: collecting rock fracture samples of a rock, and collecting basic parameters of the rock; determining a fractal dimension of a rock fracture morphology of the rock; calculating the fractal dimension of the rock; calculating a complexity coefficient Fc of rock fracture of the rock; and characterizing a complexity of rock fracture of the rock based on the complexity coefficient Fc of rock fracture of the rock. In the present invention, combined with the fractal geometry theory, fracture complexity coefficient of shale rocks is redefined and calculated to accurately characterize rock fracture morphology, so that characteristics of rock fracture morphology is correctly understood and affecting factors of fracture morphology is analyzed.

  • Patent number: 10844710
    Abstract: A method for acquiring an opening timing of natural fracture under an in-slit temporary plugging condition and a device thereof are provided. The method includes steps of: acquiring physical parameters of stratum according to site geological data, and measuring a slit length L of a hydraulic fracture; dividing the hydraulic fracture into N unit bodies of equal length and numbering them sequentially; and dividing a total calculation time t into meter fractions of time with equal interval; calculating a width of each unit body in the hydraulic fracture at the initial time; calculating a fluid pressure in the hydraulic fracture at the k-th fraction of time; calculating a closed pressure at an entrance of the natural fracture on an upper side and a lower side of the hydraulic fracture at the k-th fraction of time; and determining whether the natural fracture is opened by a determining criteria based on the above calculation results.
