This utility patent discloses a method, device, and computing apparatus for calculating fracturing fluid leak-off volume in reservoir matrices, within the field of petroleum exploitation. The method includes: acquiring pressure data from measurement points in core samples during fracturing fluid damage tests; determining fluid-induced damage length based on the data; calculating permeability variation parameters as a function of invasion depth; computing fluid invasion depth using fracturing fluid density, viscosity, and permeability variation; and calculating total leak-off volume based on average fracture height and length of primary and branch fractures. The method enables fast and accurate estimation of fluid loss by incorporating key factors such as permeability variation with depth, fluid density, and viscosity, offering a reliable foundation for hydraulic fracturing design.
