Method and device for treating bottom-hole zones of oil-and-gas-bearing formations
Abstract
The invention relates to the field of the oil producing industry and particularly to apparatus the cleaning of face zones and filters of gas-and-oil-producing and water-injection wells. Described is a method for processing bottom-hole zones of oil-and-gas-bearing formations, which method comprising steps of: pumping fluid into the wellbore, then, supplying instantly and unconstrainedly, via supplying lines using the pneumatic generator, a compressed gas agent onto the wellbore fluid mirror, which is accompanied with forming a gas cushion, thereby creating compression waves with sharp edges in said fluid, which waves carry energy with high fluid density along the wellbore with a slight attenuation and ensure a high disjoining pressure that ensures opening of filtration channels of the formation, then exhausting instantly the compressed gas agent, thereby creating dilatation wave with a sharp edge that forms a cavitation pocket in said fluid and ensures an ejection of bridging particles from the formation into the well. Described is an apparatus for processing bottom-hole zones of oil wellbores, which apparatus comprising a wellbore fluid supplying line provided with the valving, a pneumatic generator, compressed gas agent supplying lines provided with quick-operating valving, and a system for exhausting compressed gas agent having gating elements, wherein the pneumatic generator includes a hollow well head comprising an exhaust outlet and an end wall, with the generator open end mounted on the wellbore, into which the compressed gas flows via compressed gas agent supplying lines. On application of this invention, the technical result is in increasing the high-quality and reducing the period of cleanup of bottom-hole zones of producing wells of oil deposit, as well as in improving the apparatus properties concerned with ecology.
