Abstract: In response to the fracturing disturbance problem in the Mahu 18 block, based on the production data of on-site fracturing disturbance well groups, the actual fracturing disturbance cases in the block were first statistically divided. The complex fracturing disturbance situation in the block was divided according to the relationship between the number of fracturing wells and the number of production wells. Then, the disturbance types were classified based on the production dynamic response characteristics of the disturbed wells, and the degree of disturbance was quantitatively evaluated for the different types. The results indicate two main types of fracturing interference in the Mahu 18 block: the fracture communication type, and the pressure wave interference type formed through inter-well connectivity through the reservoir matrix. The fracturing disturbance dominated by fracture communication can cause serious water channeling to the production well through the direct connection of inter-well fractures, leading to a surge in water production. This type of fracturing disturbance often has a severe negative impact on the production well. In addition, the pressure and production (water production, liquid production, oil production) in the production dynamic response characteristics of disturbed wells during fracturing disturbance were used as evaluation indicators to quantify the impact of different types of fracturing disturbance from multiple perspectives.
