Abstract

Disclosed is slick water volumetric fracturing method with large liquid volume, high flow rate, large preflush and low sand ratio, including the following steps: (a) evaluating the reservoir parameters; (b) determining the perforation position and a perforation parameters of a fracturing interval; (c) determining the fracturing parameters; (d) performing a perforation operation on the fracturing interval; (e) injecting acidizing fluids into the perforation; (f) alternately injecting preflush and sand-laden fluids into the fracturing interval several times; (g) injecting displacement fluids into the fracturing interval; wherein the flow rate is not less than 12 m3/min. The beneficial effect of the technical scheme proposed in the present invention is: by using a low viscosity slick water fracturing fluid with high flow rate, the pressure of the fracturing fluid is increased, thereby increasing the stimulated reservoir volume and increasing the fracturing yield.
