Abstract
The present application provides a horizontal well multi-section multi-stage reciprocating fracturing method and apparatus. The method comprises the steps of: dividing a fracturing tubular column into n fracturing sections; fracturing the first fracturing section to form a first first-stage fracture; fracturing the second fracturing section to form a second first-stage fracture; fracturing the first fracturing section again to form a first second-stage fracture; going on in this way, fracturing the nth fracturing section to form an nth first-stage fracture; fracturing the (n−1)th fracturing section again to form an (n−1)th second-stage fracture; going on in this way, at last, fracturing the nth fracturing section again to form an (n)th-stage fracture. The present method and apparatus can effectively eliminate or reduce the interference of relatively long fractures that has been generated during the horizontal well multi-section fracturing to fractures generated by subsequent fracturing.
