fluid u«ed in light of reservoir conditions, but
inert nitrogen can also be used a« a testing gas

part in protecong the reservotr and setting packer.

regulating backpressure so that reservoir fluid can
tlow, thus reducing formation damage and
avoiding exploston.

used. Then combined perforating and fracturing

as the perforating fluid. Thcn a combined
perforatmg and sand control operation (such as
gravel packing) is required, the perforating fluid
should meet the requirements of reservoir
protection and sand control operation.
mien super-overbalanced perforating is
required, the perforating fluid may be pressurized
and enter the rßervoir; thus, a rational combined
mode of fracturing fluid and liquid nitrogen
should selected in light of the different rescrvoir
conditions. liquid cushion and liquid nitrogen
volumes should be designed in accordance with
qrrational requirements. Regardless of the t)Te of
fluid and the size of the fluid's volume, a friction-
reducing polymer should be added. design
criteria of Frforating fluid for superoverbalanced
perforating are shown in Table 4-16. fluid

When combined perforating and high-energy
gas fracturing are required, the perforating fluid
may be unavoidably carried into the rcscrvoir•,
thus, the perforating fluid system should be
carcfully selected, and a system adaptable to
reservoir characteristics should be designed and
selected to the full extent.
 For a low-pressure low-permeability reservoir,
horizontal or mulnbranch well, and deep-water oil
and gas wells, the perforating fluid system should
be prudently selected, and low-density
