Plasma-pulse impact on oil reservoirs. In recent years, plasma pulse stimulation of the oil reservoir has become one of the most promising methods of enhanced oil recovery. This innovative approach is based on the use of high-energy plasma pulses to activate and stimulate oil recovery processes. The technology provides an opportunity to significantly increase the volume of produced oil, improve the quality of recoverable raw materials and reduce well operation costs. During plasma-pulse impact on the oil reservoir, a local heat-pressure pulse is created, which contributes to crack opening and rock fracture, which increases the penetration of fluids into the porous space. In addition, this method activates microorganisms in the adjacent zone, which contributes to more efficient processing and cleaning of the oil reservoir from contaminants and sediments. One of the main advantages of plasma-pulse impact is its high efficiency. The use of this technology allows to increase oil recovery by 30-50% compared to traditional methods of production. In addition, the quality of extracted raw materials is improved - its density and content of useful components increases. It is also worth noting that the use of plasma-pulse impact on the oil reservoir significantly reduces operating costs, as this method requires less time and resources for work. In this article we will consider a detailed review of the principles of operation and peculiarities of plasma-pulse impact on the oil reservoir. The results of studies conducted in various conditions will be analyzed, and examples of successful implementation of this technology in the practice of oil production will be presented. The basic principles of this technology are as follows. First, a plasma discharge is created, which generates electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency and power. Then these waves are directed to the well, where they affect the oil reservoir. Plasma pulses are able to penetrate deep into the formation and stimulate its productivity, increasing oil flow. One important advantage of plasma pulses is their ability to improve the permeability of the oil reservoir. The plasma creates microcracks and nanostructures, which helps increase oil flow to the well. The technology also reduces oil viscosity and improves its flowability. The results of studies conducted in various conditions show the effectiveness of plasma-pulse impact. It was found that this technology can significantly increase the oil flow rate in wells, as well as improve oil recovery. Examples of successful implementation of plasma pulse stimulation can be found in the practice of oil production. Some oil companies have already implemented this technology and obtained positive results. For example, in one of the projects in the North Sea, experiments were conducted using plasma stimulation, which resulted in a 30% increase in oil flow rate. Thus, plasma pulse impact on the oil reservoir is a promising technology that can improve the oil production process. Its application can increase oil flow, improve reservoir permeability and reduce oil viscosity. Examples of successful implementation show that this technology has great potential for application in oil production. Plasma is an ionized gas that has high temperature and energy. Under the influence of plasma, the physical and chemical properties of the rock are altered, resulting in increased permeability and capacity of the oil reservoir. In addition, plasma is capable of breaking down organic components and depositing polymeric materials on well surfaces. This subsection will discuss the basic principles of plasma-pulse impact on the oil reservoir, as well as its effectiveness and possible problems in the use of this method. It will also provide an overview of existing technical solutions for creating plasma discharges in wells. The use of plasma-pulse impact on the oil reservoir can be one of the key factors to improve the efficiency of oil production. This method can be applied both at new fields and at already exploited wellsPrinciples of operation and main characteristics of plasma pulse stimulation. Plasma pulse stimulation is an innovative technology used to improve oil reservoirs. It is based on the use of electrical discharges that create a plasma of high temperature and pressure. The principle of operation is the formation of a plasma channel through which energy is transferred to the reservoir surface. One of the key characteristics of plasma-pulse impact is the ability to achieve high temperatures and pressures in very short time intervals. This contributes to the generation of intense shock waves that are capable of disrupting the porous structure of the formation and creating new fractures. Another important feature is the precise adjustment of pulse parameters: duration, frequency and amplitude. This allows optimizing the impact process for the specific conditions of each oil field. It should also be noted that plasma-pulse impact has high energy efficiency and environmental safety. Unlike traditional methods of oil reservoirs improvement, it minimizes the use of chemical reagents and does not require large volumes of water to carry out the process. to carry out the process. Plasma pulse treatment is based on the use of plasma discharges, which are generated by a high-voltage discharge in a specially designed system.

Plasma pulse stimulation is a new and effective method for improving the performance of oil reservoirs. This method is based on the use of plasma - a hot gas with high energy - to create an impact on the reservoir. The advantages of using plasma pulse stimulation are related to its ability to increase the permeability of the oil reservoir by breaking down the resulting obstacles, such as salt deposits or clay particles. In addition, this method helps to improve the opening of fractures in the reservoir, which contributes to more efficient oil recovery. In the oil industry, plasma pulse stimulation can be used as a standalone method or in combination with other technologies such as hydraulic fracturing or chemical treatments. This opens up opportunities for an optimal approach to improve well productivity and maximize oil recovery. However, it should be noted that the application of plasma-pulse stimulation requires specialized technical training and equipment. Without proper knowledge and skills, it can be difficult to achieve the desired resultsDevelopment prospects and research in the field of plasma-pulse impact on oil reservoirsIn recent years, plasma pulse stimulation of the oil reservoir has become a subject of active research and development. This is due to the fact that this type of technology has great potential for improving oil production processes. One of the prospects of development of this field is to improve the efficiency of oil reservoir fracturing and separation processes. Plasma pulses are capable of causing intense mechanical and thermal effects on the formation, which allows achieving more efficient rock fracture and improving fluid penetration into the well. In addition, plasma pulses can be used to improve well cleanup and permeability. Plasma pulses can break up deposits and plugs in wells, as well as increase formation permeability by breaking up clay particles and other impermeable materials. Another prospect for the field is the use of plasma pulses to improve oil stimulation processes. Plasma pulses can stimulate additional oil release from the formation, improving fluid penetration and increasing well productivity. However. on the oil reservoir is attracting increasing attention as a promising method of enhancing oil recovery. Research in this area is being actively conducted to determine the effectiveness and potential of this approach. One promising area of development is the use of high-powered pulsed units to create plasma, which is then directed into the well to activate the oil reservoir. This makes it possible to achieve high temperature and pressure inside the well, which helps to increase rock permeability and improve filtration properties. Another promising area of research is the study of the influence of various parameters on the efficiency of plasma-pulse action. This includes determination of optimal values of current, voltage, pulse frequency and other parameters, as well as assessment of their influence on the processes of destruction and activation of the oil reservoir. A deeper understanding of the principles of action of plasma-pulse impact on the oil reservoir also requires the study of physical and chemical processes occurring at the contact of plasma with oil and rock.
