ThE USING THE WAVE HEAT TREATMENTS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF HARD-TO-RECOVER OIL
The using of the thermal methods of influence is the one of the most common methods of influence on the formation, the purpose of which is the production of hard-to-recover oil. Experience in the development of hydrocarbon deposits in Russia and abroad shows that the use of "classical" steam injection technology in the development of complex formations causes significant difficulties. Based on the analysis of the experience of using this technology, it is also revealed that it is difficult to provide high reservoir coverage with heat. Therefore, it is extremely important to find ways to improve the efficiency of steam exposure technology in the reservoir. Modeling the effectiveness of thermal impact in this case can serve as the key to the success of such a rather difficult to predict method as thermal treatment of the reservoir and allow you to plan the result of such an event that contributes to increased oil recovery, such as heat treatment.
