The tight oil reservoirs in the eastern Ordos Basin are characterized by shallow burial, low pressure, small principal geostress, and low fracture pressure, which are significantly different from the general mid-deep tight oil reservoirs. Previously, the development of horizontal wells in this area through hydraulic fracturing was mainly based on field experience, and the design of the fracturing construction lacked a theoretical foundation, making the impact pattern of construction parameters unclear and the enhancement of production effect uncertain. Hence, research on the optimization of key parameters in fracturing construction is urgently needed. To maximize production efficiency, an integrated research method involving fracturing simulation and numerical reservoir simulation has been adopted. FrSmart has been used for fracturing simulation, Petrel for building geological reservoir models, and tNavigator for numerical simulation. Through the comprehensive application of various numerical simulation software, optimal cluster spacing, displacement, and single-segment fluid volume suitable for horizontal well fracturing in the reservoir were determined. By adjusting the conventional volume fracturing process parameters of well YCN-1 in the study area to a cluster spacing of 20 m, a displacement of 12 m3/min, and increasing the single-segment fluid volume to 1 000 m3, significant improvements in fracturing and production enhancement effects were achieved. Field test results show that the production of well YCN-1 after optimizing fracturing parameters is 29.98% and 50.27% higher than that of the unoptimized wells N-2 and N-3, respectively. Therefore, a method of critical significance for guiding the fracturing construction of shallow tight oil reservoirs, enhancing fracturing efficiency, and improving production effects has been proposed.
