Based on percolation theory, an inversion model for simulating waterflooding interferences was proposed to study the influence laws of different factors on interference characteristics. The results show that well spacing, permeability ratio, cave size, and cave location all affect the interference characteristics of water flooding. When the cave is located in high permeability fractures, or in the small well spacing direction, or close to the producer in an injection-production unit, the effects of water flooding are much better. When the large cave is located in the high-permeability or small well spacing direction, the well in the direction with lower permeability or smaller well spacing will see water breakthrough earlier. When the cave is in the higher permeability direction and the reserves between the water injector and producer differ greatly, the conductivity differences in different injection-production directions are favorable for water flooding. When the injection-production well pattern is constructed or recombined, it's better to make the reserves of caves in different injection-production directions proportional to permeability, and inversely proportional to the well spacing. The well close to the cave should be a producer, and the well far from the cave should be an injector. Different ratios of cave reserves to fracture reserves correspond to different optimal well spacings and optimal permeability ratios. Moreover, both optimal well spacing and optimal permeability ratio increase as the ratio of cave reserves to fracture reserves increases. %U http://www.cpedm.com/EN/10.11698/PED.2020.05.13
