Electromagnetic technologies in the system of oil production innovative methods at the fields of the Republic of Bashkortostan

Abstract

An increase in the share of hard-to-recover oil in the total balance of its reserves, which is particularly important for the Republic of Bashkortostan, inevitably makes it necessary to search for and commercially introduce new ways to extract it. Among the many methods of increasing oil recovery and intensifying the inflow, the method of influencing the bottomhole zone of the formation with a high-frequency electromagnetic field is distinguished, which, despite many years of research, is still considered experimental in Russia and is limited to evaluating the production and technical characteristics of use. At the same time, financial and economic indicators are overlooked, the identification of which will justify the relative low cost and high profitability of the innovative method.The purpose of the study is to determine the feasibility of introducing methods of oil field development based on the use of electromagnetic field energy. The main research methods are the analysis of scientific literature on the research topic, systematization and generalization of specialized state statistics data. The calculation part uses methods of economic analysis and business analytics.The existing technologies for oil field development in the Republic of Bashkortostan are considered, a conclusion is made about their obsolescence and the need to replace them with technologies based on new physical principles. The prospects of electromagnetic technologies and the degree of development of this topic in the scientific environment of Russia and the Republic of Bashkortostan are indicated. With the help of modelling, the economic effect of the introduction of technology for influencing the bottomhole zone of the formation with a high-frequency electromagnetic field has been established, the possibilities of covering the deposits of the Republic of Bashkortostan suitable for development have been determined.The results of the study can be used in the analysis of the prospects of regions with the predominant development of the oil production and oil refining complex, on the territory of which there are large areas of depleted fields that require the use of innovative technologies for additional production. Further research may be devoted to assessing the economic and technological efficiency of using electromagnetic and other innovative technologies for influencing the reservoir directly in fields with different properties of residual oil and geological and geophysical parameters of the host reservoirs.
