Abstract: Hydrajet-fractruing is a new stimulation technique in oilfield. It is very necessary to study jet parameters.
Based on the experiments and computational method of fluid dynamics, the jet pressure field around a cavity has
been calculated. The velocity and pressure in cavity is obtained by fluid simulation. The following parameters were
analyzed: nozzle space location, the number of jet, cavity shape, differential pressure and nozzle diameter. The
result shows that the pressure in cavity will increase with the drop of nozzle pressure and the increase of nozzle
diameter. The jetting stream creates the same pressure in the cavities in spite of their different shapes. The location
and the number of nozzle have no influence to the cavity pressure. The conclusions can provide scientific basis for
the oilfield performance of hydrajet-fracturing.
