Abstract:The work provides an analysis of technologies for the intensification of heavy oil and bitumen production. A variant of its improvement based on the technology of borehole hydraulic production supplemented by the processes of dissolution with hydrocarbon solvents and catalytic aquathermolysis is proposed. The technology involves transfer of main operations of technological chain “extraction-preparation” to the productive layer (transfer of rock to composition of hydraulic mixture; viscosity reduction as a resu… Show more
