    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for realizing uniform stimulation for the oil and gas well by low-cost multi-stage fracturing, comprising the following steps: first calculate and predict the inlet widths of the fracture created in the planned hydraulic fracturing; then design the plugging scheme for blocking the fracture inlet after each fracturing treatment; the selected plugging particles are composed of filling particles and skeleton particles, with designed plugging scheme; after complete the design of plugging scheme, perform the fracturing treatment to create hydraulic fracturing in the reservoir; skeleton particles and filling particles are added into the fractures successively according to plan. The present invention provides a multi-stage single-cluster fracturing method, with the advantages of controllable fracture sizes and low cost. The present invention can realize a good uniformity of stimulation for the oil and gas wells.
