  • Patent number: 7409989
    Abstract: A well jet device comprises a packer on a tubing string, a jet pump nozzle and mixing chamber and stepped through channel and sealing unit with an axial channel and mountable in said stepped channel. A flexible tube with logging device for measuring on the lower end thereof is passed through the axial channel, movable with respect thereto. Packer releasing is carried out on attaining a specified depth. The logging device is run into the well in production formation areas via said flexible tube. During downwards running, a sealing unit is mounted in the through channel and background values of physical parameters are recorded. Afterwards, fluid working medium is supplied to the jet pump nozzle, forming a series of different-value depressions in the under-packer space. Well flow rate and physical parameters are measured.

  • Patent number: 7152683
    Abstract: The invention relates to pumping engineering, mainly to well pumping devices for extracting oil from wells. The inventive method consists in assembling from the bottom upward an input cone provided with a shank, a packer and a jet pump and in running said assembly with the aid of a tubing string into a well. Afterwards, a receiver transformer of physical fields is also run into said well, background measurements of temperature and other physical fields are carried out, a formation is drained and the work of the individual interlayer of a productive strata is evaluated. An ultrasonic action is performed on the productive strata. The hydrodynamic action being performed on the productive strata during said operation, the entire formation is exposed to the combined action of ultrasonic oscillations and a hydrodynamic effect. Afterwards, the unit for ultrasonic effect is pulled out from the well to the surface.
