N2 - With the continuous depth breakthrough of two ultra-deep exploration wells in northeastern Sichuan block, tuff reservoir was finally discovered at the depth of 6700-7300 m. It belongs to ultra-deep tight gas reservoir with low brittle mineral content and high clay content. Hydraulic fracturing is hard to be reformed this special reservoir, easy to appear hydration expansion and other problems. However, the research and development of such tight tuff reservoir with high temperature and high pressure are relatively low in the domestic and overseas until now. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out experimental research on relevant reservoir reconstruction methods of such rocks and explore the factors of fracture conductivity here. In this study, the influence of acid type, sanding concentrations, proppant size was research by a new experimental installation. The factors of fracture conductivity are analyzed by experimental data and the reconstitution of fracture surface. The results show that before the abnormal point, the acid etching effect of crosslinked acid on tuff is better than that of gelling acid. At the condition of closure pressure is lower 30 MPa, the higher sanding concentrations, the higher fracture conductivity, then narrowed the gap among them. Meanwhile, the larger proppant size, the higher fracture conductivity in low closure pressure. With increasing closure pressure, fracture conductivity of smaller size proppant decreased slowly. In conclusion, it is also convenient for the field operation to choose the best acid and proppant parameters.
