Annotation:

The paper aims to highlight the problem of permeability decrease with aqueous solutions injection into low-permeable reservoirs, in particular into the Bazhenov formation serieses. The filtration of oil and then water through the low permeable core samples of the Bazhenov formation was explored, accompanied with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) research of the pore volume. A 10-times reduction of the permeability was obtained after water filtration experiments. Then the permeability restoring due to filtration of a mutual solvent (methanol) was observed. The article put forward hypotheses about the effect of mutual solvents on bound oil and water in the pore surface as well as the possibility of using well treatments by chemicals soluble in both oil and water.
