Example 5:
a method of operating an assay device as described in examples 1-4, comprising:
the experimental apparatus was connected as shown in FIG. 1
(1) Selecting a simulated crack or simulated perforation type, putting a sample to be tested into a rock core holder or a kettle, and containing a working fluid and a displacement fluid;
(2) connecting a reaction kettle containing the working fluid with a piston container containing the displacement fluid, ensuring that all parts of the whole experimental device are connected and sealed, and sealing the connected parts by adopting rubber rings;
(3) setting an experiment temperature by the computer control panel, starting the automatic heating system to heat the simulation system, stopping heating when the temperature is heated to the temperature required by the simulated stratum, and entering a heat preservation mode;
(4) setting the pressure and flow of a plunger pump, starting a large displacement pump, injecting a displacement fluid by the operation of a computer, enabling the displacement fluid to enter an inner cylinder of a simulated shaft module through a pipeline under the pushing of high pressure, enabling the displacement fluid to enter a simulation system for a plugging experiment, and collecting the lost working fluid into the lost system through a simulated crack module for automatic metering.

if an obvious leakage phenomenon always exists in the experimental process, the leakage liquid is continuously increased or the pressure is not changed, the effective plugging is not formed or the plugging effect is not good. The position of the temporary plugging agent in the kettle can be adjusted by adjusting the pressure and the flow of the plunger pump, if the effect is very little, the experiment needs to be carried out again, and if the three results are consistent, the maximum value of the bottom pressure of the kettle in the whole process is taken as the effective plugging pressure or the effect of the temporary plugging agent/plugging agent is not good.

Experimental methods
Firstly, preparing fracturing fluid, taking 500ml of clear water, adding 1.25g of polymer thickening agent under the condition of stirring by a stirrer, and standing for later use after the polymer thickening agent is completely dissolved;
secondly, placing the temporary plugging ball on a plugging ball hole plate, then placing the plugging ball hole plate on the lowest end of the reaction kettle on the special core holder, pouring fracturing fluid into the reaction kettle, and then screwing a reaction kettle cover tightly for sealing;
connecting the core holder with the injection system and the temperature control system, and carrying out an experiment according to the method in the embodiment 5;
receiving the leakage liquid at the liquid outlet by using a leakage liquid metering module, and synchronously recording experimental data by using a computer;
the experimental pressure is increased from 10MPa to 20MP, the experimental result is obtained and processed, the temporary plugging balls under two groups of pressures successfully plug the pore cracks, the change curves of the leakage liquid under two types of pressures along with time are shown in figure 7, and as can be seen from figure 7, the change curves of the leakage amount under different pressures along with time have basically the same characteristics, but the leakage amount can be reduced along with the increase of the pressure, and the effective temporary plugging time is shortened, which shows that the temporary plugging leakage amount can be reduced by properly increasing the pressure difference in a certain pressure range, and a better temporary plugging effect can be achieved;
sixthly, repeating the experiment, replacing the temporary plugging balls of different manufacturers, and measuring the temporary plugging performance of different temporary plugging balls, wherein after different temporary plugging balls are temporarily plugged under the pressure of 20MPa, the change curve of the leakage loss of the leakage liquid along with time is shown in figure 8, and as can be seen from figure 8, under the pressure difference of 20MPa, the leakage loss of No. 2 is better than that of No. 1 and better than that of No. 4 and 3, the leakage loss of No. 2 and No. 1 is slowed down after 5min, and finally the leakage loss is kept within 5.5ml, which indicates that the effective temporary plugging of No. 1 combination is basically formed in 5 min. No. 3 and No. 4 have larger initial leakage amount, and form effective plugging after 20min, and the effect is relatively inferior to that of No. 1 and No. 2.
