Development characteristics and potential of fault-fracture reservoir in southwest margin of Ordos Basin by HE Faqi, LI Junlu, GAO Yilong, WU Jinwei, BAI Xingying, GAO Dun

“…The induced fracture zone's proximity to the fault correlates with higher production capacity, demonstrating the spatial impact of fault structures on reservoir productivity. 3） The production characteristics of fracture wells are categorized into three stages: ① the fracture system acts as the high yield stage; ② the fracture system serves as the storage stage and plays the role of diversion; ③ the fracture's primarily function in diversion. This research significantly increases the proportion of high-yield wells in the fault-fracture reservoir, providing crucial insights for guiding efficient, ongoing exploration and development activities in the Mesozoic reservoirs on the southwest margin of the basin. …”
