【 摘 要 】

The problem of enhancing heavy oil reservoir performance is a matter of relevance for many years. Among the technologies aimed at solving this problem, the technology of the bottom-hole and well casing heating is the most interesting. This is a real possibility to transform thickened hydrocarbon into a recoverable state, as well as to solve the tasks of cleaning the borehole from asphaltenes, resins, and paraffin sediments. In both cases, the borehole area is generally warmed up and the product is then pumped out by the known techniques. The type of the equipment, the way of the well operation, the stage of reservoir development, physical and chemical properties of paraffin sediments, etc. are taken into consideration. In the article, basing on the electromagnetic induction method and the Joule effect, the advantages of induction heating compared to the traditional resistive and steam methods are presented. It is shown that under the induction exposure, the heat is not focused on the apparatus, but on heating the oily product. Basing on the method, a thermoacoustic inductor with unique technical characteristics has been developed.
