Abstract
One of the most pressing challenges of the oil and gas industry is the development of new and effective methods to enhance oil production. This study presents the results of experimental research into the properties of crude oils from the Samotlor field, utilizing electrothermal treatment methods. The author of this article conducted measurements using an experimental setup developed at the Branch of Industrial University of Tyumen in Nizhnevartovsk. Specifically, the author assessed the polarization properties, density, and viscosity of the oil while exposing it to thermal, electrostatic, and electromagnetic fields. The experiments revealed a reduction in both the density and viscosity of the oil when subjected to simultaneous thermal and electrostatic fields. An even more pronounced decrease in these properties was observed under the combined effect of thermal and electro-magnetic fields. The article gives explanations for the obtained results: increases motility of dipolar molecules, which leads to a reduction in intermolecular forces. In conclusion, the author noted a viscosity reduction of 100% or more, suggesting forecast for the same increase in oil production.
