  • Patent number: 11015924
    Abstract: The invention introduces a method of calculating etching profile of acid-etched fracture system considering complex filtration media, which mainly considers dynamic filtration caused by natural fractures and acid-etched wormholes in acid fracturing, calculates the above filtration process by a numerical method, and finally calculates acid etching profile of acid-etched fracture system based on acid concentration profile. Calculation equations include fluid pressure in natural fractures, filtration velocity in natural fractures, fracture geometry of hydraulic fractures, fluid pressure in matrix rock, acid concentration profile in natural fractures and hydraulic fractures, acid etching width in hydraulic fractures and natural fractures, and length of acid-etched wormhole, etc.
