Insight into the Methods for Improving the Utilization Efficiency of Fracturing Liquid in Unconventional Reservoirs

A large amount of fracturing fluid will be injected into the unconventional reservoirs during hydraulic fracturing. At present, the maximum amount of fracturing fluid injected into shale oil reaches 70000 m3 in Jimsar. The main function of fracturing fluid is to make fractures for traditional recons...
