Patent Number: 5,027,897
تاريخ النشر: July 02, 1991
Appl. No: 07/481,290
Application Filed: February 20, 1990
مستخلص: The method consists in that the formation pressure is measured, and a solvent is fed through a well into the formation. Then a hydrophilizing solution is fed through the same well into the same formation. The supply of the solvent and hydrophilizing solution is effected while keeping the bottom hole pressure approximately equal to the formation pressure.

Claim: We claim
Claim: 1. A method of treatment of a drilled-in underground formation saturated with hydrocarbon gas, comprising the steps of
Claim: measuring a formation pressure;
Claim: feeding a solvent through a well into the formation, displacing the formation fluid from a formation zone about the well and dissolving heavy hydrocarbon fractions deposited in said formation zone;
Claim: feeding a hydrophilizing solution into the formation through said well, reducing the surface tension between the formation surface and water and displacing the previously supplied solvent, the solvent and the hydrophilizing solution being supplied into the formation while maintaining bottom hole pressure approximately equal to the formation pressure.
Claim: 2. A method according to claim 1, the formation zone about the well is supplied with a solvent selected from the group including alcohols comprising from one to seven atoms of carbon, ketones, dioxanes, kerosene, stable gas condensate, diesel oil.
Claim: 3. A method according to claim 2, wherein a solvent dissolving in the hydrophilizing solution is selected from said group of solvents.
Claim: 4. A method according to claim 3, wherein the solvent dissolving in the hydrophilizing solution includes alcohols comprising one to seven atoms of carbon, ketones, dioxanes.
Claim: 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein the formation zone about the well is supplied with a hydrophilizing solution selected from the group comprising weak water solutions of acids with a concentration less than 1%, weak water solutions of salts of alkali metals with a concentration maximum 1%, as well as solutions of surfactants.
Claim: 6. A method according to claim 1, wherein the solvent fed into the formation has a velocity of propagation in the formation equal to the velocity of propagation of the hydrophilizing solution supplied to the formation.
Claim: 7. A method according to claim 6, in which the hydrophilizing solution is provided with an agent increasing the viscosity of said hydrophilizing solution.
Claim: 8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the agent increasing the hydrophilizing solution viscosity is polyacrylamide.
