The oil and gas fields of the Tertiary Sand formation in north China are of complicated structure. The permeability of the pay zone ranges from 0.1 to 50 md, and the porosity approaches 13%. During development, hydraulic fracturing is necessary to stimulate well productivity to achieve satisfactory economic benefit. This paper discusses fracturing fluids and solid leakoff additives, proppants and types of propping, fracture height and diverting fractures, and fracturing pressure for the formation in this area.
