Unified Fracture Design for fracturing optimization is a simple and reliable way to push the limit of the injection ability, reported frequently in recent years. However, most studies focus on fracture design under pseudo-steady state flow regime. The analysis of the different pressure systems between water injection well and oil production well tells us that the steady flow regime in the formation takes up most life span of water injection wells, associated with the field experience. To maximize injection capability for fractured vertical water wells under this regime, a physical optimization method is developed based on the concept of proppant number. Meanwhile, two new type curves without consideration of formation damage are obtained for quantifying the correlation between dimensionless injectivity and dimensionless conductivity. Then, calibrated design procedures accounting for gel damage and non-darcy effect, are also proposed. Finally, sensitivity studies are addressed to clarify the effect of several variables on the optimum fracture geometry.

Due to the faultiness of simulation in heavy-oil, unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs with frac-pack wells, a mathematical model was established considering reservoir stress sensitivity, start-up pressure gradient, and fracture flow conductivity failure. Based on the field data of one block in Bohai Bay, together with the numerical model, the percolation mechanism was studied. Results show that for heavy-oil, unconsolidated sandstone reservoirs with frac-pack wells, the sweep efficiency is enlarged and the reservoir pressure gradient is lowered, which result in better productivity and sand prevention results. The flow pattern is proved to be an intermediate of radial flow and bi-linear flow, which is characterized with the concept of fracture flow ratio. The lower the reservoir permeability, the higher the fracture flow ratio and more likely bi-linear flow pattern occurs, thus the advantage of the frac-pack fracture will become more apparent.
