Use of the electrohydraulic effect as a means of intensifying the technological processes of oil collection and preparation

Taras Shumilin, Oleksandr Kondrat
Abstract

Unlike many other industries, where the electrohydraulic effect is widely used, its potential is practically not used in oil production. However, this phenomenon allows for the efficient conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy and can contribute to the intensification of oil production processes. The aim of the study was to analyse the use of the electrohydraulic effect in industry, develop an electrical circuit for its implementation in the laboratory, and assess the possibilities of using this circuit to intensify oil production and treatment processes. For this purpose, the available literature on the electrohydraulic effect in other industries was analysed. A schematic diagram of a laboratory setup has been developed that will allow studying the effect directly on oil samples and oil emulsions. The created electrical circuit consists of elements that allow processing various liquid media, including formation water, oil emulsions and oil itself. The key advantages of using this circuit are high efficiency, powerful intensity of action, environmental friendliness, and the ability to adjust the intensity of the process. Widespread practical application of study results will help improve the efficiency and environmental safety of processes in the oil industry; thus, revealing the potential of this effect will be a significant step forward in the technologies of collecting, preparation and intensification of production of high-viscosity oils. This will reduce the cost of oil production, improve the quality of commercial oil, reduce oil losses with stable oil emulsions, and increase production. The results of this study will form the practical basis for the development of optimal technologies for the treatment of various types of heavy oils using the electrohydraulic effect
