Nowadays , fractured reservoir and affected fractured reservoir are increasing each year in o il-gas reservoir. Both their reserves and output increase in proportion[1~3]. Based on the incomplete statistics, the oil-gas reserves of comp lex fractured reservoir take up about 50% of the total reserves [4]. The best economic effect iveness oil deposit is the fractured reservoir [5], because this kind of reservoir provides good seepage channel which connected to the shaft. However, the

reservoir seepage channel (well drilling, well co mp letion, well repair, increase in production, water inject ion). During the process of well drilling, there are two kinds of circu mstance [11]:① The outside solid phase particles (harmfu l solid phase particles and cement particles) which are less than the effective width of the crack invade deeply into the crack of the stratum or are absorbed by the crack surface to form memb ranes, which causes the reduction of seepage capability of the crack. The damage depends on the depth of invasion, the size of solid phase particles, formation of filter cake and differential pressure;② The particles’ migration of dual
