In this regard, increasing the efficiency of the applied stimulation methods or developing new innovative technologies is particularly relevant. During the operation of oil fields at the final stage of development, disruption of thermodynamic equilibrium in the near-wellbore zone leads to precipitation of asphaltene–resin–paraffin compounds contained in high-viscosity oils, which reduces the filtration capacity of reservoir fluids and sharply decreases production. To overcome such complications, a microemulsion consisting of technical lecithin, a surfactant, hydrochloric acid, and a hydrocarbon solvent was developed, and its effect on near-wellbore zone permeability and residual oil recovery was studied by laboratory experiments. It was determined that injection of the microemulsion into a model composed of terrigenous rocks increased the final oil recovery factor by 15.5% and permeability by a factor of 2.3, whereas injection into a model composed of carbonate rocks increased the final oil recovery factor by 22.9% and permeability by a factor of 5. Based on the results, the mechanism of action of the new microemulsion composition on the near-wellbore zone is proposed. Field tests showed that treatment of the near-wellbore zone with the microemulsion increased the well flow rate by 27%.</p>","PeriodicalId":798,"journal":{"name":"Theoretical Foundations of Chemical Engineering","volume":"60 2","pages":"310 - 314"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2026-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
