    Assessment of the Elastic-Wave Well Treatment in Oil-Bearing Clastic and Carbonate Reservoirs

    Vladimir Poplygin, Chengzhi Qi, Mikhail Guzev, Evgenii Kozhevnikov, Artem Kunitskikh, Evgenii Riabokon, Mikhail Turbakov
    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.6, pp. 1495-1505, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2023.022335

    Abstract A set of techniques for well treatment aimed to enhance oil recovery are considered in the present study. These are based on the application of elastic waves of various types (dilation-wave, vibro-wave, or other acoustically induced effects). In such a context, a new technique is proposed to predict the effectiveness of the elastic-wave well treatment using the rank distribution according to Zipf’s law. It is revealed that, when the results of elastic wave well treatments are analyzed, groups of wells exploiting various geological deposits can differ in terms of their slope coefficients and free members.

    Experimental and Numerical Assessment of the Influence of Bottomhole Pressure Drawdown on Terrigenous Reservoir Permeability and Well Productivity

    Sergey Popov, Sergey Chernyshov, Evgeniy Gladkikh
    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.3, pp. 619-634, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.021936

    Abstract During oil and gas fields development, a decrease in reservoir and bottomhole pressure has often a detrimental effect on reservoir properties, especially permeability. This study presents the results of laboratory tests conducted to determine the response of terrigenous reservoir core-sample permeability to changes in the effective stresses and a decrease in the reservoir pressure. The considered samples were exposed for a long time to a constant high effective stress for a more reliable assessment of the viscoplastic deformations. According to these experiments, the decrease of the core samples permeability may reach 21% with a decrease More >

    An Integrated Oil Production Enhancement Technology Based on Waterflooding Energy Recovery

    Aleksandr Lekomtsev, Vitaliy Bakaneev, Ivan Stepanenko, Petr Maximov, Yulia Rozhkova, Alexey Dengaev, Wanli Kang
    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.19, No.2, pp. 285-301, 2023, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.019809
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing in the Oil and Gas Industry)
    Abstract A new integrated oil production enhancement technology based on water-flooding energy recovery is proposed. After providing an extensive review of the existing scientific and technical literature on this subject, the proposed integrated technology is described together with the related process flow diagram, the criteria used to select a target facility for its implementation and the outcomes of the laboratory studies conducted to analyze emulsion formation and separation kinetics. Moreover, the outcomes of numerical simulations performed using Ansys CFX software are also presented. According to these results, using the proposed approach the incremental oil production may More >

    Application of Epoxy Coatings to Increase the Efficiency of Wax Oils Production

    Ilushin Pavel, Vyatkin Kirill, Anton Kozlov
    FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing, Vol.18, No.5, pp. 1229-1241, 2022, DOI:10.32604/fdmp.2022.020424

    Abstract When producing hydrocarbons, an important task relates to the optimization of the stock of the producing well. The main complications for wells in non-working mode are represented by the formation of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits. This issue is one of the most common problems in the production and transportation of oil. A promising method to deal with these deposits is the application of smooth coatings made of epoxy polymers on the inner surface of the production well tubing. In this work, a number of laboratory studies were carried out on the “Cold Finger” installation to assess the More >
