Abstract:

The phenomenon of acid fingering in pad acid fracturing treatment directly affects acid distribution, effective distance, fracture conductivity. It is more complicated and difficult to study than other fingering phenomena. Previously, acid fingering was simulated in a model that consists of two lucite plates, which failed to simulate acid fingering with acidrock reaction. Based on previous study, one marmoreal plate and one doubledeck toughened glass plate, rather than two transparent glass plates, are used as the fracture walls. Acid fingering is successfully simulated with acidrock heterogeneous chemical reaction. Some new phenomena, which are not mentioned in existing literature, are discovered. The acid fingering patterns are characterized by fractal dimension, which is 1.86, 1.75, 1.75 and 1.81 respectively. Which illustrates that the fingering pattern is evidently fractal and directly supports the applications of fractal theory in acid fracturing design.
