Introfizika R&D Center's Sonic Treatment Technology Simplifies High-Viscosity Oil Production

摘要

Oil companies today are constantly searching for better technologies for producing high-viscosity (with 0.910-1.05 g/cu. cm) and bituminous oil. Possible solutio- ns are presented by developing new physicochemical methods for treating both gas-liquid mixture in the well and bottom-hole formation zone. One of the methods for reducing oil viscosity is a sonic treatment of oil formation. Ultrasonic treatment degases the well's liquid which lowers viscosity of the product.
