Abstract:

With the continuous development of shale gas, the interference of adjacent wells is increasing during the fracturing of horizontal wells, which has a great impact on the production of gas fields, the safety of casings, and the string of gas wells. The influencing factors of the interference between fracturing wells and the countermeasures to reduce the interference need to be clarified.The field performance of fracturing interwell interference is confirmed by downhole pressure monitoring. Through production dynamic tracking analysis and microseismic monitoring results, it is basically clear that well spacing, fracturing transformation intensity, and natural fractures are the main factors affecting the interference between horizontal wells during fracturing. Three governance strategies have been proposed to reduce fracturing interference, including optimization of fracturing design source, on-site management of gas production wells, and production operation adjustment. These measures have achieved good improvement effects in on-site applications.

Key words: shale gas, field test, interwell interference, governance countermeasures<br
