Initiation Pressure

Horizontal well hydraulic fracture construction technology has already become the main development means of low permeability reservoir, and the crack initiation pressure is a key factor in fracture construction. Taking ABAQUS as the platform, combined with rock mechanics, elastic mechanics, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics and fluid-solid coupling theory, to establish horizontal well mechanical model, crack initiation law of horizontal well under different conditions were obtained by using finite element method. According to the horizontal well fracture tested data in Daqing peripheral oil fields, the crack initiation pressure and numerical simulation results are in good agreement, it shows that the numerical simulation method is reasonable, then analyze influence factor of crack initiation pressure on the basis.
