Bottomhole zone treatment method for horizontal well Bottomhole zone treatment method for a horizontal well includes running-in into the treated bottomhole zone of a hydroperforator with a one-way acting pipe string with nozzles faced upwards, impact of hydrocarbon solvent jet through it, then impact by acid solution, process withhold for reaction with acid, running-out of the equipment from the well, swabbing and bringing the well into production. Before running-in, at the head of a horizontal well, the lower end of the pipe string is equipped bottom upwards with a centralising tube, the one-way acting hydroperforator with nozzles faced upwards, a pulsed liquid pulsator, a valve consisting of a saddle and body with openings covered tightly by the saddle fixed by a shear pin in regards to the body, the pipe string is run in into the bottomhole of a horizontal well until it backs the centralising tube. Then in pulse mode, in two stages, the bottomhole zone is impacted through the hydroperforator at first by a hydrocarbon solution jet, then by a jet of hydrochloric acid. While implementing two stages with simultaneous injection of hydrocarbon solvent or hydrochloric acid the pipe string is moved from the bottomhole to the head at constant speed along the length of the horizontal well screen. When injection of hydrochloric acid is completed the hydroperforator is placed at the well screen end from the well head side, then a plug is set at the head to the pipe string and flushed by process liquid through the pipes till it sets at the valve saddle and the shear pin is destroyed under pressure in the pipe string. Then the process is withhold during 1 hour, at that in process of this withhold the pipe string is run in until the hydroperforator rests in the bottomhole of a horizontal well. Then, during three cycles, 0.5 m3 of process liquid is injected to the pipe string and tubing-casing annulus in turn. When withhold time is over reaction products are washed out by return circulation in one and a halve volume of the well. |

Treatment method of bottomhole zone Method includes running-in of a pipe string into the bed perforation interval, flushing of the well equipped with the master and casing valves, treatment of the bottomhole zone by injection of a hydrochloric acid solution through the pipe string and a process holdup for reaction. According to the invention the pipe string is equipped by an impulse pulsator from below and by a valve above the impulse pulsator. The pipe string is run in into the well so that the lower end of the pipe string is located opposite the bed perforation interval, fresh water with addition of a surface active compound (SAC) is injected into the bed in a pulsed mode closing the casing valve under pressure that does not exceed permitted pressure to production casing with further spill and recovery of direct circulation. Then the valve is actuated and the impulse pulsator is cut off, the pipe string is run in additionally so that radial openings of the valve are located opposite the bed perforation interval. The hydrochloric acid solution is pumped through the pipe string until it reaches the bed perforation interval, a hydrochloric bath is set and the well is held. During the process holdup fresh water with SAC addition is injected each half an hour in sequence to the pipe string and a tubular annulus. After the holdup completion the reaction products are flushed from the well. An actual bed intake is determined by injection of fresh water with SAC to the bed through the tubing-casing annulus under pressure that does not exceed the permitted pressure to the production casing. If the actual bed intake is bigger or equal to the optimal intake then treatment of the bottomhole zone is stopped and the pipe string is run out from the well. If the actual bed intake is less than the optimal intake then at the open master and casing valves return circulation of the fluid is induced and the well is flushed. At that the master valve is closed periodically till the bottomhole pressure increases per 4 MPa from the initial value with further opening of the master valve till a transparent fluid appears. At that permitted pressure for production string is not exceeded. Return circulation is continued within 1 hour and then the actual bed intake is determined again. |

Stimulation method of formation fluid influx from well Stimulation method of formation fluid influx from the well consists in lowering to the well of a tubing string. Counter pressure on the productive formation is decreased owing to replacing the liquid column with liquid-gas mixture (LGM) at observance of the required value of depression on the productive formation. Before the tubing string is lowered, its lower end is equipped with a remote subsurface pressure gauge and a filter. The tubing string is lowered to the well so that the filter is located opposite the formation perforation interval; after that, treatment of the bottom-hole zone of the formation is performed using a chemical method with process exposure for reaction. Then, the tubing string is lowered further so that the filter is located below the formation bottom, and into the inter-string space there lowered is a string of flexible tubes (FT) 100 m below the liquid level in the well. The liquid column is replaced in the inter-string space of the well with LGW and lowering of the FT string is continued. When lower end of the filter of the tubing string is reached, lowering of the FT string is stopped; then, stimulation of the formation fluid influx is started by gradual reduction of density of pumped LGM till the required depression on the productive formation, which is controlled as per readings of the remote subsurface pressure gauge, is achieved. After completion of stimulation of the influx from the well there removed is FT string from the inter-string space of the well, and operating equipment is lowered to the well and the well is put into operation. |
