Abstract: New downhole tool inventions should be used after severe tests because the accurate simulation of the actual working conditions is very important. This study explains a four-serial-parallel pump test model to simulate erosion with the creation of a large discharge and high sand content when cementing sliding sleeves were in the operating mode. First, the equipment connection scheme was hypothesized for a two-parallel pump model according to the field test conditions. Then, the equipment connection was designed so that the pump lift in the pipelines reached 35.82 m based on detailed theoretical calculation. With this figure and the H-Q characteristic curve of the actual measurement of one centrifugal pump, the equipment connection was set up as a four-serial-parallel pump model. The simulation results showed that the scheme met the erosion requirements for a large discharge (4.5 to 7.0 m3/min) and high sand content (volume ratio of 25%) and had a large allowance. Furthermore, the test showed that in all fracturing operations, different numbers of sliding sleeve eyelets influenced the overall pipeline pressure loss, test flow, and pump efficiency.
