Abstract

This article takes the Saucier method as the foundation and aim at fracturing packing, under ideal gravel conditions, through the analysis of the pore of gravel bed in the condition of fracturing or high-pressure packing and the arch bridge theory to revise the Saucier method and put forward the design space of gravel-to-sand median diameter ratio (GSR) is 5.464-6.831, thereby providing the foundation for optimizing and gravel size decision with high-pressure packing control sanding.
