Plasma Impulse Excitation Enhances Oil Recovery from Productive Formations

摘要

Today in Russia most of large oil fields are characterized by significant recovery of reserves. Besides, a high water cut level considerably increases the amount of idle wells. There are many methods to stimulate productive formations to enhance hydrocarbon recovery by increasing reservoir pressure, improving in-place permeability, or reducing viscosity of the produced oil. Yet, these methods have one essential disadvantage - all of them are highly specialized and target only specific problems.
