Isolation through a viscoelastic surfactant of a fracable hydrocarbon-containing formation

Abstract

In this paper water cut of well products problem is considered. To solve this problem it is proposed to use a technology of water inflows isolation during the drilling process developed by the authors. Not only does our approach stimulates the production of hard-to-recover hydrocarbons but it also protects local water and undisturbed geological formations against the impact of hydraulic fracturing operations. This approach also enables higher well potential due to a longer service life of the wellbore. The use of a device-pressure regulator with synchronous injection of the developed blocking fluid is presented. Mathematical modeling of the experiment was performed, aimed at determining the dependence of the change in pressure drop in the annular space of the well on the flow conditions of the blocking composition with a device installed in the bottom hole assembly that will effectively apply the controller device, taking into account the drilling parameters of a particular well. The novelty of this approach lies in the fact that this work offers an aquifer isolation technology, which suggests applying a pressure regulating device, and provides a layout of a blocking viscoelastic system.

Assessing the Pollution Level in the Kuban River Basin by Multivariate Cluster Analysis

“…The ecological status of the Kuban river basin plays a key role in the stable development of the economics and national economy as all economic sectors are concentrated within the Krasnodar Region (Olden et al, 2012). The dynamics of the chemical characteristics of the river system undergoes indeed significant changes over time (Kuchin et al, 2020;Praskievicz and Luo, 2019). The hydrological conditions of the Kuban River basin and, as a result, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov are also subjected to changes (Evstigneev et al, 2020).…”

COVID-19 crisis impact on the stability between parties in crowdfunding and crowdsourcing

“…This is especially the case when there is a financial crisis, such as one caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, and many projects have lost their financial support and were suspended or closed. The threat of a new outbreak and the following financial collapse reqires project initiators to create medium-and long-term plans of socio-economic development to restore after the crisis [10].…”

Improvement of Efficiency of Steam-Thermal Treatment of High-Viscous Oil Formations Using Downhole Electric Steam Generators

“…The design of the electric steam generator-separator The electrode spacing is determined by power of the device, the supply voltage, the surface current density and the specific resistance of the current conductive fluid(Kuchin et al 2020). Each phase electrode is placed in a fluoroplastic ceramic cup having a sidewall 7 and current conductive windows 8.…”
