  • Patent number: 9896917
    Abstract: The oil production intensification method includes injecting the reagent into the reservoir and treating the bottom zone of the well with high voltage pulse discharges with an electric discharge device continuously traveling from bottom to top in the atmosphere of such reagent. The number of pulses of such high voltage pulse discharges is set subject to the real porosity of the reservoir and the empirical dependence of the number of pulses of high voltage pulse discharges per meter of the reservoir and porosity of rocks pre-estimated with the core material. After the electric discharge device stops traveling up, the treatment with high voltage pulse discharges also stops, and the well is pressurized until the pressure stabilizes in it. Then, the bottom hole area of the well is further treated with high voltage pulses as the electric discharge device travels from top to bottom. Whereby an intensified oil production is realized, from 2 to 20 times more oil may be extracted.
