Development of environmentally appropriate enhanced oil and gas recovery technology for horizontal oil and gas (shale) wells using plasma impulse excitation method
Title of project: Development of environmentally appropriate enhanced oil and gas recovery technology for horizontal oil and gas (shale) wells using plasma impulse excitation methodCluster: EnergyTechnology Tags or Keywords: plasma-pulse technology, enhanced oil recoveryTitle: A METHOD FOR APPLYING PHYSICAL FIELDS OF AN APPARATUS IN THE HORIZONTAL END OF AN INCLINED WELL TO PRODUCTIVE HYDROCARBON BEDSSummary: This Project is aimed at meeting the demand on the hydrocarbon production market for an inexpensive, effi-cient and environmentally perfect technology to improve production in horizontal wells. The market analysis shows that there is a demand from companies for a technology having the following characteristics: profitabil-ity, high mobility, extremely precise selective action pattern and environmental friendliness. The plasma impulse excitation method is a method providing a way to find all these items that satisfy the above-mentioned re-quirements. The experience existing in the application...

Modification of the properties of the bottomhole formation zone of wells to increase their productivity
Title of project: Modification of the properties of the bottomhole formation zone of wells to increase their productivityCluster: EnergyTechnology Tags or Keywords: Helicoid perforation, Self-activating gel compoundsTitle: Helicoid perforationSummary: The technology provides for the intensification of oil production with active plantar waters or in the presence of gas capsTechnology Benefits : Cheaper in 3-4 times than existing technology of hydraulic fracturing formation and applicable to complex geological conditionsTechnology Applications : Increasing the flow rate of oil wells, wellhead pressure reduction for injection wells.Detailed Technology Description: Helicoid perforation is carried out by moving hydraulic perforator along the borehole axis and simultaneously rotating it around its own axis to form perforations, the movement speed and rotation perforator is selected based on the condition that the resulting perforation is helicoid to form a cavity in the treated formation. The...
