Overview

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of advanced perforation design in reducing pressure interference and enhancing fracture propagation in shale gas operations.

Key Points

  • The application of spindle-shaped perforations increases fracture propagation uniformity by 20.3% compared to uniform perforations.
  • Pressure interference in application wells was reduced by approximately 95.3%, dropping from 14.95 MPa to 0 MPa post-application.
  • Three types of fracture-driven interference were identified, leading to customized perforation schemes for optimization.
  • This methodology improves operational sustainability in complex hydraulic fracturing operations, ultimately boosting productivity.
