在多物理场模拟器的帮助下，作者最近提出了一种使用可降解滤失添加剂（DFLA）作为裂缝几何形状添加剂的新用途，以减少垫体积，同时实现相同的几何形状。在这篇完整的论文中，作者将先进的泥浆流动模型与生产模拟相结合，提出了压裂的最佳设计策略，这可能会挑战当前的处理设计惯例。开发了一种新颖的工作流程，具有实验室、泥浆流动建模、生产分析和机器学习四个耦合工作模块。新的数字框架针对当前方法的局限性提出了解决方案。
在不同的世代中，已经引入了多种流体添加剂来实现特定的处理目标；其中一种已使用多年但一直未得到充分利用的是降滤失剂 (FLA)。已提供其在以下应用中使用的理论和现场基础：
尽管有这些好处，但使用 FLA 的主要问题是它可能会损害裂缝导流能力和储层。
With the aid of a multiphysics simulator, the authors recently presented a novel use of a degradable fluid-loss additive (DFLA) as a fracture geometry additive to reduce the pad volume while achieving the same geometry. In this complete paper, the authors extend advanced slurry flow modeling with production simulation to propose the optimal design strategy for fracturing, which may challenge current treatment-design conventions. A novel work flow was developed, with four coupled working blocks of laboratory, slurry flow modeling, production analysis, and machine learning. The new digital framework proposes solutions for the limitations of current methodology.
Across different generations, multiple fluid additives have been introduced to target specific treatment objectives; one of these that has been available for years, but that has been underused, is fluid-loss additive (FLA). Theoretical and field bases have been presented for its use in the following applications:
Despite these benefits, the primary issue of using an FLA is its potential to damage fracture conductivity and the reservoir.
