Abstract
After fracturing, the calculation of fracture volume is very important to evaluate the effectiveness of stimulation and production prediction of oil and gas wells. Because of the complexity of rock characteristics and fracturing process of oil and gas reservoirs, it is very challenging to determine the fracture volume. When fracturing the reservoir, the surface or downhole micro-seismic monitoring is usually used, and then the Stimulated Reservoir Volume (SRV) is calculated, but the fracture volume cannot be calculated. Based on the tracer monitoring, this paper proposes a method to calculate the fracture volume of gas injection wells, summarizes the advantages and adaptability of this method, and has carried out practical application in well block Ma 131 of X oil field, which can be used to optimize the displacement speed and PV number of gas drive, and provide guidance for improving the development effect of gas drive in the future.
