  • Patent number: 11125068
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a channel fracturing method with alternative injection of conventional and capsule-type soluble proppants. The method includes the following steps: injecting pad fluid into a wellbore to break a formation and form fractures in the formation; alternately injecting a sand-carrying fluid containing conventional proppant and a sand-carrying fluid containing capsule-type soluble proppant into the wellbore in sequence to support fractures in the formation and continue to fracture the formation; injecting displacement fluid into the wellbore to completely displace the sand-carrying fluids in the wellbore into the fractures. The conventional proppant of less dosage is used. The capsule-type soluble proppant is less difficult to be developed and its solubility is sensitive to the fracture closure, which is conducive to the quick flowback after fracturing.
