Science Increases Oil Production Efficiency
|
Oil under the ground is often contained in so-called “collectors” – layers of porous rocks. In order to reach “black oil” engineers drill wells, to which oil travels from surrounding rocks through highly porous and permeable rocks and later gets extracted. During drilling of wells or after a long-term well operation pores of oil-bearing rocks get clogged and large amount of oil is left inside the Earth forever. Such clogging is also known as “wall cake” or “filter cake”.
