METHOD FOR MULTIPLE FORMATION HYDRAULIC FRACTURING IN HORIZONTAL WELL SHAFT Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E21B43/267 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: method involves drilling of a horizontal well shaft, lowering and fixation of a shank with filters, lowering of a packer and its seating, formation of cracks in each of the zones, which correspond to intervals of parts of the horizontal shaft with insulation of the rest of its parts. With that, the lower end of a pipe string is located 1 m closer to the mouth from the distant formation interval; a string of flexible pipes is lowered into the above pipe string and it is equipped from below with an abrasive jet perforator; space between the pipe string and the string of flexible pipes is sealed at the well mouth. Groups of slit perforation holes are made with length of 20-30 cm and width of 15 mm with a phasing angle of 60° in every 1.5 m of the oil-saturated formation interval in the shank; reverse flushing is performed together with simultaneous movement of the string of flexible pipes from the mouth to the face throughout the length of the oil-saturated formation interval; the string of flexible pipes with a jet nozzle is removed, and hydraulic formation fracturing is performed with further fixation of a fracture by light-weight resin-coated propping agent with fraction size of 20/40 mesh in concentration of 1400 kg/m³ and its filling to the horizontal well shaft opposite the oil-saturated formation interval; the packer is removed; the pipe string is moved in the direction from the face to the mouth to the next oil-saturated formation interval; after that, the above operations are repeated starting from seating of the packer and ending with the packer removal in the rest oil-saturated formation intervals developed by the horizontal well shaft.

EFFECT: improving reliability of hydraulic formation fracturing and efficiency of fracture fixing.
