Enhanced Oil Recovery from Permian-Carboniferous Deposit of High-Viscosity Oil in the Usinsk Oilfield with Physicochemical and Complex Technologies

Приведены результаты лабораторных исследований, промысловых испытаний и промышленного использования на пермо-карбоновой залежи высоковязкой нефти Усинского месторождения разработанных ИХН СО РАН физико-химических и комплексных технологий увеличения нефтеотдачи и ограничения водопритока с применением термотропных гелеобразующих и нефтевытесняющих композиций при естественном режиме разработки и совместно с паротепловым воздействием. Показана технологическая эффективность и экологическая безопасность технологий, их перспективность для промышленного использованияPresented are the results of laboratory studies, field tests and commercial application of the physicochemical and complex technologies created by IPC SB RAS on the Permian-Carboniferous deposit of high-viscosity oil in the Usinsk oilfield. The technologies are intended to enhance oil recovery and for water shutoff using thermotropic gel-forming and oil-displacing systems under natural development practice and together with thermal-steam stimulation. Technological effectiveness and ecological safety of the technologies and their prospects for commercial application are show

Robotic optical telescopes global network MASTER II. Equipment, structure, algorithms

Presented paper describes the basic principles and features of the implementation of a robotic network of optical telescopes MASTER, designed to study the prompt (simultaneous with gamma radiation) optical emission of gamma-ray bursts and to perform the sky survey to detect unknown objects and transient phenomena. With joint efforts of Sternberg astronomical institute, High altitude astronomical station of the Pulkovo observatory, Ural state university, Irkutsk state university, Blagoveshchensk pedagogical university, the robotic telescopes MASTER II near Kislovodsk, Yekaterinburg, Irkutsk and Blagoveshchensk were installed and tested. The network spread over the longitudes is greater than 6 h. A further expansion of the network is considered. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media B.V
