The application of the thermal stimulation in heavy oil recovery

摘要

The authors describe the technology of thermal stimulation of oil using standalone wind power plants. The thermal stimulation of the wellbore is the most effective method of reducing oil viscosity. The high viscosity of the reservoir oil leads to a significant reduction of water-free operation of the deposits, sweep efficiency reduction, and, as a consequence, results in uneven displacement front and advance to the local formation of dead zones.
