Abstract:The study investigates the initiation and propagation of multi-fractures during temporary plugging and diverting acid fracturing in deep carbonate reservoir rocks with tight formations. An orthogonal experiment using prepared carbonate outcrop rock mass simulated a genuine triaxle scenario for temporary plugging multi-fracture network acid fracturing. Analysis of 3D section scans revealed the roughness of fractured surfaces caused by acidization, helping understand the effects of different types and amounts of… Show more
