Abstract
In recent years, fracturing-flooding technology has achieved a series of successful practices in the development of low-permeability oil reservoirs. However, research on the dynamic behavior of fracturing-flooding remains limited. In this paper, a dual medium model considering anisotropic characteristics is established for the target blocks. Multiple sets of conventional water injection transitions and multi-cycle fracturing-flooding operations are designed for simulation to explore the subsequent optimal operational schemes. Simulations are conducted on the optimal transitions between conventional water injection and multi-cycle fracturing-flooding schemes for different reservoir models with varying physical properties to study the dynamic behavior of fracturing-flooding in oil reservoirs with different properties. The results indicate that, for conventional water injection schemes, the optimal transition time for both the target well group and other reservoirs with different properties corresponds to a formation pressure coefficient between 1.2 and 1.3, with the optimal injection–production ratio being 1:1. From the perspective of water cut, the accumulated oil production of multi-cycle fracturing-flooding is higher than that of conventional water injection. The optimal multi-cycle fracturing-flooding schemes for both the target well group and other reservoirs with different properties are to start fracturing-flooding when the formation pressure coefficient is around 0.8 and to begin production when it reaches 1.4.
