摘要

水平井中多条水力裂缝间的应力干扰行为，造成了压裂液排量的非均匀分配，影响了水力裂缝的几何形态。采用边界元法研究岩体在压裂液作用下的变形程度，以幂律流体泊肃叶平板流动方程来研究水力裂缝内部的压裂液流场，考虑了多条裂缝间应力干扰和压裂液流量分配，建立了流-固耦合的水平井多条水力裂缝同步扩展模型。模型可模拟水平井多条水力裂缝几何形态、应力干扰情况和压裂液排量的分配情况，可解释水力裂缝之间的竞争机制。多条裂缝同步扩展时，压裂液排量并非均等地分配到各个裂缝之中，进入到内部裂缝的压裂液流量最小，内部裂缝宽度最小；内部的水力裂缝增长一定长度后，停止增长，并且在应力干扰下逐渐闭合。

Abstract

The stress interaction among multiple fractures in a horizontal well causes non-uniform distribution of fracturing fluid

and then affects the geometry of hydraulic fracture. Boundary element method is used to determine the rock deformation under the hydraulic pressure of fracturing fluid

and the Poiseuille flow of the power-law fluid is conducted to calculate the flow field of fracturing fluid inside the hydraulic fracture. Considering the stress interaction and fluid distribution

a fluid-solid coupled model is proposed to illustrate the hydraulic fracture propagation in multiple simultaneous fracturing of a horizontal well. This model can simulate the fracture geometry and stress interaction

and this model figures out the mechanism of fracturing fluid distribution and fracture competition. During the process of multiple fracture propagation

the fracturing fluid is not equally distributed into each fracture. The interior fracture with the lowest width contains the least amount of fracturing fluid . The interior fracture stops growth and closes after reaching certain length due to stress interaction.
