Mathematical modeling of the heavy oil production with hydraulic fracturing and radio-frequency electromagnetic radiation

The paper discusses the results of mathematical modeling of the flows of heavy oil to a fractured well a radio-frequency electromagnetic irradiation. An element of a development system with several fractured wells in which the fractures have the same geometry and properties, and are directed along regional stresses, is considered. The model takes into account the effects of thermal expansion of oil, the dependence of the viscosity of fluid on temperature, the influence of the surrounding wells on pressure and temperatures distribution around the producing well with thermal influence. Numerical calculations of variants with different fracture conductivities have been performed, the processes of mass and heat transfer in the around fractured well have been investigated, and comparative calculations with "cold" production have been performed.
