Accurate prediction of fracture initiation pressure is the key process in hydraulic fracturing and acid fracturing.Penetration effect plays an important role in calculating fracture initiation pressures.But at present,percolation,injection rate and liquid viscosity are seldom considered to the prediction models of initiation pressure in fractured wells.Rock is a porous medium,the fracturing fluid will infiltrate into the zone around the wellbore in fracturing,which can make the pressure distribution around the wellbore change and create additional stress interference on fracture initiation pressures in hydraulic fracturing.A prediction model for fracture initiation pressure of open-hole wellbore is established with taking penetration effect into account and combining the theory of rock mechanics,elasticity and seepage mechanics in this context.The incremental boundary iterative method is used to solve the moving boundary problem.The reliability and rationality of the model are verified by comparing with the fracture initiation pressure test and the classical Hubbert model.The influence of penetration effect on the fracture initiation pressure of an open-hole wellbore is analyzed by using the model and the calculation results show that with the increase of rock permeability,injection rate and borehole size,the fracturing fluid is easier to flow into the formation rock,resulting in the increase of pore fluid pressure and the decrease of fracture pressure obviously;with the compressibility of fracturing fluid and fracturing fluid viscosity increases,the fracturing fluid is not easy to infiltrate,and thus infiltration of fracturing fluid has little effect on the fracture initiation pressure.The model established in this paper overcomes the disadvantages that Hubbert model cannot take the effect of penetration on reservoir fracture pressure into account,and explains the mechanism of penetration effect on reducing reservoir fracture initiation pressure effectively.
