The thixotropic properties of high-viscosity oils have been found to be highly dependent on temperature and pressure treatment. As the temperature increases, the efficiency of the wave-pulse method to reduce the thixotropic properties of high-viscosity oil increases. The effect of the wave interference on the productive formation decreases over time, and after 3-7 days of development, the well must be treated again to ensure its operation in an intensive mode. Wave-pulse treatment facilitates the separation of light fractions from high-viscosity oil and hydrophobization of the reservoir. Heat and wave-pulse treatments complement each other and contribute to a complex effect on high-viscosity oil, but they must be carried out simultaneously or alternated with minimal interruptions in order to avoid the space lattice restoration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
