Fracturing Manifold: High-Pressure Fluid Control System for Hydraulic Fracturing

By utilizing the pressure transfer effect of the fluid, when the injection speed of the high-pressure pump exceeds the formation’s absorption rate, high pressure builds up near the wellbore, exceeding the tensile and compressive strength of the formation rock. This expands existing fractures or creates new ones. As the high-pressure fluid continues to inject, fractures extend until the injection rate equals the formation’s filtration rate. To prevent fractures from closing after pumping stops, proppant is added to the fluid to keep fractures open, achieving effective fracturing.
