Staged fracturing horizontal well technology is an important means of improving tight reservoir development efficiency. Taking a typical tight oil block in the Oilfield A as the studied area, the vertical well–horizontal well joint arrangement pattern is adopted in this study. The energy supplementary development effects of multiple permeability scales, different arrangement spacing, and different media (H2O, CO2) are discussed through the numerical simulation method. Combined with the principles of petroleum technology economics, the economic evaluation model for staged fracturing horizontal wells in tight oil reservoir development is proposed, thereby determining the technical boundary and economic boundary of supplementary energy development with different media. Studies indicate that the technical boundary and economic boundary of water-flooding development in the Oilfield A are 0.4 and 0.8 mD, respectively, and the technical boundary and economic boundary of CO2-flooding development are 0.1 and 0.4 mD, respectively. This study provides theoretical support for field operation of Oilfield A and guidance for selection of development mode for tight oil reservoirs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
