Abstract

Nowadays, the time is coming for development of oil deposits with the so-called hard-to-recover reserves (HRR). Particularly relevant and important at this time are the fundamental issues of the formation of hydrocarbon deposits. To understand how the most cost-effective way to extract heavy oil from clay-bituminous sediments, it is necessary to know the nature of the process of the formation of hydrocarbons. In the present work, experimental studies confirming the influence of electromagnetic fields on the change in the fractional composition of oil and fraction of heavy naphthenic hydrocarbon fractions are considered, as well as examples of natural phenomena that could affect the rapid, jumping formation of light oil deposits by changing the electromagnetic field of our planet. The object of research is the change in the fractional composition of oil under the influence of an electromagnetic field of frequency 50 Hz and magnetic induction of about 0, 81 T, as the subject of research is oil Bazhenov horizon, which according to many scientists is oil generating in Western Siberia. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the change in heavy oil fractions under the influence of an electromagnetic field.
