Annotation:
The authors of the article consider the prospects of microwave impact on the oil source formation of the Western Siberia in order to improve the efficiency of extracting hard-to-recover reserves. The results of the studies show that thermal treatment of such rocks in particular microwave heating promotes kerogen transformation into mobile hydrocarbons and improves the filtration properties of rocks. The results of laboratory experiments on the core of the oil source rock of the Western Siberia, confirming the possibility of heating them to optimal temperatures, required for the transformation of kerogen, are analyzed. Examples of successful application of the technology in the world practice are given. The advantages of the method, including more uniform heating compared to the traditional thermal methods, are considered as well as key limitations, such as high energy costs and the necessity of further research. Calculations of additional production, demonstrating the potential of the technology for the low-permeable reservoirs development, are provided.
