Method for extracting deposits of viscous oils and bitumens. RU patent 2246001.

FIELD: oil and gas extractive industry.

SUBSTANCE: method includes drilling two-mouth horizontal well, fixing thereof by operation column, dragged from one mouth along shaft to another mouth together with packers for mounting the latter in ceiling of productive well, raising and feeding oil to output line on one of well mouths. Mouth portions of operation column are interconnected by ground-based portion in form of arced pipeline with identical inner diameter with forming of closed channel. Said ground-based portion of the latter is fixed on support frame of driving assembly. For it an additional column is placed in operation column, performing a function of tubing pipe in underground portion and having perforation channels for connection to productive layer. In hollow of additional column at even spaces from each other a system of cylindrical elements is mounted, interconnected via force tractions with forming of closed traction system. Portions of tubing column underground portion from well mouths to limits of operation column perforation portion together with said cylindrical elements form piston pump couples. During operation forced displacement of cylindrical elements system by driving assembly is performed with continuous consecutive pressing of oil from tubing column via above-mentioned piston pump couples.

Oil deposits extraction complex / 2246000
Device has force and product pipelines, column of thermo-isolated pipes, steam generator. Steam generator is made in form of system for feeding easily-boiling liquid. Said system contains thermo-isolated force pipeline with reduction assembly for adjusting amount and pressure of easily-boiling liquid and sprayer. Sprayer serves for dispersing easily-boiling liquid on smallest drops and forming foam of mixture of bubbles of easily-boiling liquid steam and oil from bed. Also provided is compressor for raising foam, cooling machine for transferring steam of easily boiling liquid to liquid state. Inputting pipeline is placed coaxially outside the force pipeline. Output of input pipeline is connected to separator input, and separator output - to cooling machine input.

Gravitational steam-power oil extraction method / 2245999
Method includes inputting working environment under pressure along thermo-isolated pipeline into oil-bearing bed and extracting oil to the surface through inputting pipeline. As working environment easily-boiling liquid is used. It is fed along force thermo-isolated pipeline with reduction assembly and sprayer at end. Easily-boiling liquid is fed under pressure, enough for dispersing easily-boiling liquid on smallest drops and forming a foam of bubbles of easily-boiling liquid and oil from bed. It is fed into inputting pipeline placed coaxially outside force pipeline. Mixture of steam of easily-boiling liquid and oil is extracted to surface. Mixture is separated, oil is gathered, and steam of liquid is condensed for repeated use in well.

Method for formation of deep-hole charge / 2244900
The method for formation of a deep-hole charge of a multi-component mixed explosive consists in impregnation of porous and crystal ammonium nitrate with liquid petroleum product and placement of the obtained explosive in the hole, formation of the mentioned deep-hole charge in its extension is accomplished with sections of various density of the explosive depending the physico-mechanical properties of the rocks located in the length of the hole, varying the density of the explosive by varying the mass percent relation of the quantity of granules of porous and crystal ammonium nitrate in the explosive compound, the mass percent of a granule of porous ammonium nitrate is within 54.5 to 71.5, a granule of crystal ammonium nitrate is within 20 to 40, liquid petroleum product - within 5.5 to 8.5, the granules of porous ammonium nitrate are used with sizes of 2.5 to 4.5 mm, and those of crystal ammonium nitrate - 0.7 to 1.3 mm, mineral oil is used as petroleum product.

Method for extraction of hydrocarbon deposit / 2244813
Method includes drilling of well and following concurrent heat treatment of productive bed and treatment by pressure waves. Well is drilled in parallel to ceiling or soil of bed. Acoustic properties of system ceiling-bed-soil are examined. Bed oscillation frequencies are determined. Acoustic characteristics of system ceiling-bed-soil are determined and concurrently heat and pressure waves treatment is performed in frequencies range containing spectrum of frequencies in resonance with frequencies of bed oscillations. Length of well is selected divisible by integer number of waves, direction of which is perpendicular to ceiling or bed soil, appropriately to analytical relation.

Method includes drilling two-mouth horizontal well, fixing thereof by operation column, dragged from one mouth along shaft to another mouth together with packers for mounting the latter in ceiling of productive well, raising and feeding oil to output line on one of well mouths. Mouth portions of operation column are interconnected by ground-based portion in form of arced pipeline with identical inner diameter with forming of closed channel. Said ground-based portion of the latter is fixed on support frame of driving assembly.

Method for processing water for extraction of oil by thermal methods / 2247232
Method includes first stages of capturing energy of processed heat from high pressure steam separator, placed below steam generators. Then transfer of heat energy into heated separator and evaporator and heat exchanger is performed for distillation of bed water present in oil-bearing bed and restoration of distillated water and concentrated salt solution or hard product. Concentrated water steam from heated separator is circulated through evaporator and heat exchanger to support from 1% to around 50% of steam mass in the flow, returning into heated separator, and prevent pollution and forming of scale. Equipment includes separator for processed low pressure energy, heated separator and steam compression with forced circulation circuit to produce distillated water.

Method for electro-thermal treatment of face-adjacent bed zone / 2247233
Face-adjacent bed zone is heated by well electric heater and liquid is removed. Well is equipped with column of tubing pipes with perforated branch pipe at the end, separated by plug, with electric heater and pump below the plug. Branch pipe is positioned in zone of productive bed. Flow of liquid along inter-tubular space is limited by partial disengagement of inter-tubular well space at level of productive bed ceiling. Face-adjacent zone is heated with concurrent circulation of liquid along branch pipe below the cork and well space below disengagement location and feeding of water into inter-tubular space. Removal of liquid is performed with disabled heating and circulation of liquid.

Method for extraction of deposits of high-viscous oil and bitumen / 2247830
Method includes cyclic differently-directed forcing of air as oxidizer. This is achieved by changing oxidizer forcing pressure and its volume, changing position of air forcing points, extraction of high-viscous oil or bitumen. Appearance of sign-alternating pressures between beds of different saturation provides for acceleration of capillary counter-flow saturation with water of zones with oil or bitumen, forcing gases into portions with oil or bitumen along small porous channels and transfer of oil or bitumen from heated areas along large porous channels. Change of direction of flows of gas of oil or bitumen between wells strengthens process of increase of area of effect of bed by bed inside burning. In such a way, use of stagnant areas is increased and bitumen extraction coefficient is increased.
