    Abstract: An experimental method for indoor real-time dynamic monitoring of a hydraulic fracture width, comprising the steps of: test piece preparation: assembling a prefabricating mold and fixing a fiber grating therein; mounting a simulated wellbore in the prefabricating mold, pouring agitated cement mortar into the prefabricating mold, and the cement mortar is solidified to form a test piece; mounting the test piece into a confining pressure chamber of a true triaxial hydraulic fracturing simulation device, connecting a liquid injection line to the true triaxial hydraulic fracturing simulation device, and connecting the fiber grating to a modem that is connected to a computer; hydraulic fracture width monitoring test: injecting liquid into the confining pressure chamber of the true triaxial hydraulic fracturing simulation device through the liquid injection line to apply three-direction confining pressures to the test piece, injecting liquid into the simulated wellbore, and starting the fiber grating and the modem to dynamically monitor the hydraulic fracture width in the test piece; and when a hydraulic fracture inside the test piece reaches an outer surface of the test piece, ending the test.

    Abstract: A fracturing method for creating a complex crack network by intermittent fracturing on site, which relates to oil and gas field development, and comprises the following steps: pumping a fracturing fluid into an oil well to enter the reservoir, continuing pumping the fracturing fluid into fractured cracks after a pumping pressure has reached a preset pressure, and stopping pumping the fracturing fluid after a preset condition has been reached; performing under-pressure shut-in for the oil well; stopping the shut-in operation when a signal detecting vehicle cannot receive an obvious microseismic signal in the under-pressure shut-in process; repeating the above three steps multiple times; pumping the fracturing fluid into the oil well to enter the reservoir by the fracturing truck until an amount of the pumped in fracturing fluid reaches a design pump-in liquid amount; pumping a sand-carrying fluid into the oil well to enter the reservoir by means of a sand blending truck and the fracturing truck after the amount of the pumped in fracturing fluid has reached the design pump-in liquid amount, and stopping pumping the sand-carrying fluid after the pumped in sand-carrying fluid has reached a preset sand adding amount.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an auxiliary feeding device for a flexible pipe of a radial horizontal well, comprising an oil pipe, a steering gear connected to the oil pipe at a lower opening thereof, and two impellers; an upper end surface of the steering gear is provided with an accommodating groove; the steering gear is internally provided with a through steering passage in an axial direction thereof for allowing an external flexible pipe to pass through; an inlet of the steering passage is located at a bottom wall of the accommodating groove, and an outlet of the steering passage is located at a lower portion of a sidewall of the steering gear; the two impellers are symmetrically disposed on two sides of the inlet; each of the impellers comprises an impeller shaft, a barrel body rotatably surrounding the impeller shaft, and at least three blades fixed outside the barrel body and provided at a top thereof with a notch, wherein the two impeller shafts are parallel to each other; the two impellers are synchronously rotated relative to each other, and the notches on two sides of the inlet are in one-to-one correspondence relation to form a holding passage that can clamp the flexible pipe; the flexible pipe enters the steering passage through the oil pipe, the holding passage, and the inlet in sequence, and protrudes from the outlet; fluid injected through an upper opening of the oil pipe drives the impellers to rotate downward, and causes the flexible pipe to be fed downward. The present invention can enable the flexible pipe to overcome frictional resistance effectively and be fed continuously and stably.
