The third member of Weixinnanliu in the west of the South China Sea develops thin interbeds, and the vertical extension of fracturing fractures is excessive. Once the fractures extend vertically to the upper and lower aquifers, it is easy to cause water flooding of oil wells, and the effect after fracturing is not obvious. The present work aims to explore the longitudinal extension law of fractures in Low Permeability Thin Interbed Reservoir based on the finite element calculation platform. A three-dimensional expansion model of hydraulic fractures in the target reservoir was established, and the displacement, fracturing fluid viscosity, minimum horizontal principal stress difference, vertical stress, interlayer thickness, perforation point separation were studied. The interlayer distance and other factors affect the crack propagation law.？The research results show that the thin interbed fractures have three forms: T-shaped fractures, through-layer fractures, and I-shaped fractures; for the target layer, the overlying stress is relatively large, and the minimum principal stress is along the horizontal direction. Vertical cracks; the farther the perforation point is or the greater the stress difference, the smaller the thickness of the interlayer required to control the fracture height; the stress difference is 3？MPa, and the distance between the perforation points exceeds 10？m, the thickness of the interlayer is required to be ≥4？m; In order to ensure that the width of the fracture in the middle spacer does not affect the placement of the proppant, it is recommended that the displacement be controlled within 3？m3/min and the viscosity of the fracturing fluid is 150
