Feasibility and Mechanism of Deep Heavy Oil Recovery by CO<sub>2</sub>-Energized Fracturing Following N<sub>2</sub> Stimulation

There are large, heavy oil reserves in Block X of the Xinjiang oilfields, China. Due to its large burial depth (1300 m) and low permeability (26.0 mD), the traditional steam-injection technology cannot be used to obtain effective development benefits. This paper conducts experimental and simulation...
