Abstract

Currently, unconventional oil and gas fields employ volume fracturing technology, and temporary plugging and diversion techniques have become one of the main methods for increasing production. The Mixi coalbed methane block in Yibing has a formation vertical depth of 800-1000 meters and a relatively low average formation temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. The temporary plugging agents currently in use face challenges during reservoir stimulation, including difficulty in withstanding pressure differentials, poor degradability, and significant reservoir damage, resulting in unsatisfactory implementation effects. Therefore, the water-soluble temporary plugging agent RD-1 was selected as the preferred option. Laboratory performance evaluation experiments have demonstrated that this temporary plugging agent exhibits good sealing and degradation properties. Field trials have shown good temporary plugging and diversion effects, with noticeable pressure increase during plugging and significantly improved stimulation volume. It has demonstrated good applicability in coalbed methane volume fracturing, accumulating valuable experience for efficient development of this block.
