Abstract: To improve the development effect of oil wells after fracturing in tight reservoirs, based on the Block ZD of Henan Oilfield, the permeability-stress sensitivity relationship of matrix and fracture was determined by fracture-variable-conductivity physical experiments, and the numerical simulation was applied, to determine the optimal values of CO2 huff-n-puff parameters in different reservoirs of tight oil reservoirs. The result shows that in the injection and shut-in stages, the affected area of CO2 is getting wider and wider, the crude oil viscosity in the affected area decreases significantly, and the CO2 is produced with the crude oil in the production stage, and the range of production is larger; the oil exchange rate increases and then decreases with the increase of CO2 injection volume or shut-in time, which is positively correlated with the CO2 injection rate and negatively correlated with the huff-n-puff period; the better the reservoir physical properties, the lower the optimal CO2 injection volume and injection rate, and the shorter the optimal shut-in time and the longer huff-n-puff cycles. The CO2 huff-n-puff test was carried out in Well ZA4121 in four types of reservoirs, and the accumulated oil increment was 303.4 t, which achieved a good development effect with an oil exchange rate of 0.16 t/t. The research results can provide reference for the study and application related to CO2 huff-n-puff after fracturing in tight reservoirs.
