(45) In a specific embodiment, in Table 1, the slickwater formula for slickwater fracturing is 0.2% effective drag reducer FJZ-2+0.5% polymer emulsion viscosifier FZN-1+0.25% anti-water lock surfactant FSSJ-8+100 KCl, the construction displacement is 16-18 m.sup.3/min, and the liquid intensity is 28-30 m.sup.3/m. The specific displacement and consumption are calculated according to the pumping equipment and the construction length of the horizontal interval (the calculation method is the prior art and will not be described here). It should be noted that slickwater fracturing technology is a prior art. In addition to the slickwater formula used in this embodiment, other slickwater formulas in the prior art can be also used depending on the formation conditions of the target well.
(46) The large-scale fracturing means that the liquid intensity for fracturing is 150% of that for slickwater fracturing, and the other parameters are the same as those for slickwater fracturing. The fiber temporary plugging and diverting means that the fiber is added when the slickwater pumping pressure is stable until the pumping pressure is increased by 6-10 MPa; the fiber length is 5.00-6.00 mm, the fiber concentration is 0.5-1.8%, the fiber consumption is calculated according to the on-site construction conditions (the calculation method is the prior art, which will not be described here). The cluster spacing corresponding to the medium multi-clustered volume fracturing and the highly multi-clustered volume fracturing is 12 m and 10 m, and the perforating density is 4 shots/cluster and 6 shots/cluster respectively. For other fracturing construction schemes, the cluster spacing is 14 m, and the perforating density is 4 shots/cluster. The perforating depth is 0.2 m, and the number of clusters is calculated according to the length of the fracturing interval (the calculation method is the prior art, which will not be described here).

The horizontal interval length of Well X and Well Y are 1,080 m and 1,260 m respectively. The geological exploration results show that the shale gas reserves in the reservoir where the two horizontal intervals are located are high, but the brittleness index is poor. According to the horizontal well development experience in this area, Well X and Well Y are subject to stimulation by staged and clustered fracturing in a horizontal well with a section length of 60 m, and the number of sections is 18 and 21 respectively. The cluster spacing is 12 m, the number of clusters is 5; the perforating density is 4 shots/cluster, and the perforating depth is 0.2 m; the slickwater pumping displacement is 16 m.sup.3/min, the average amount of liquid used per section is 1,800 m.sup.3, and the total amount is 3.24×10.sup.4 m.sup.3 and 3.78×10.sup.4 m.sup.3 respectively.
