Abstract

The flowback system after fracturing is a key factor affecting the development effect of shale oil horizontal wells. This paper systematically analyzes the actual data of post-fracturing productivity in the study area, and preliminarily evaluates the main controlling factors and sensitivities that affect the development effect. By means of the reservoir numerical simulation method, the mining field data is fitted, and then the influence rule of the main control factors selected by the systematic simulation calculation on the development effect is calculated. Developed a data mining optimization model for the volume fracturing flowback system in shale oil horizontal wells, and carried out the main controlling factors and sensitivity evaluations that affect the production effect. The results show that the fitting accuracy of the fracturing flowback effect evaluation and prediction model formed in this paper to the actual data of the target area can reach more than 89%; The sensitivity of the main controlling factors affecting the post-fracturing productivity in the study area are: fracturing construction parameters, compressibility parameters, flowback system and geological factors; among them, there is an obvious positive correlation trend between productivity, flowback time and flowback amount, and the cumulative flowback volume has the greatest influence on the flowback system of oil well productivity. The optimization method based on data mining can better guide the optimal design of the fracturing flowback system for shale oil horizontal wells in the target area, and provide support for improving the fracturing production effect of shale oil horizontal wells in the target area.
