Shale oil reservoirs in the Daanzhai section of central Sichuan are mainly developed in the Daer subsection, with a rich resource base and great exploration and development potential. However, the shale oil reservoir is characterized by shale and limestone interactions, poor physical properties, undeveloped fractures, and large differences in the fracture pressure of interactive reservoirs. Therefore, it is necessary to use temporary plugging and diverting fracturing technology to improve the complexity of fractures in reservoir reconstruction. To this end, an experimental device was innovatively established that takes into account the morphology of fractures and the permeability of reservoirs, and it can evaluate the temporary blocks and turns within third-level fractures in a reservoir. It can simulate third-level turning fractures under conditions involving 3−15 mm crack openings and different roughness values. Using this device and method, the combination and particle-size optimization experiments involving the temporary plugging agents used in the field were carried out, and the field tests were carried out in Well Long’an 1 and Well Ren’an 1 in the Sichuan Basin. The test results show that the pressure response after temporary plugging is obvious, which can significantly improve microseismic event points and increase the reservoir’s reconstruction volume. Compared with Well Nanchong 2H, the length in kilometers of the SRV after tackling key problems increases from 3918 × 104 m3 to 4578 × 104 m3, an increase of 17%. The average crack length increased from 265 m to 321 m, an increase of 21%, achieving a significant breakthrough in the “oil production gap”.
