Equipment developed at IPRE for well stimulation in the process of oil and water production

Equipment for creation electrical discharges in liquids finds application for well stimulation in the process of oil or water production by restoring permeability of the well hole-bottom region affected during operation by the deposition of asphalt, resinous substances or mechanical impurities, breaking and removing a colmatant from the bore-hole walls, as well as by formation fracturing to increase permeability of the hole-bottom regions. Some attention to this problem is paid previously, where the results of application of the devices created at the IPRE in the oilfields of Ukraine, Russia and China are generalized. This paper is intended to show the progress pertaining to design and fabrication of the equipment for oil and water well stimulation.
