METHOD OF HEAVY OIL EXTRACTION FROM UNDERGROUND FIELD Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E21B43/22 C09K8/584 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the heavy oil extraction from underground field. Method of the heavy oil extraction from underground field includes: nanoemulsion (oil-in-water) injection to one or more injection wells, extraction of the specified heavy oil from one or more operation wells, where the specified nanoemulsion is produced using the method including: production of the uniform mixture (1) water/oil product with interfacial tension 1 mN/m maximum, containing water in quantity from 65% to 99.9% by weight, with a view to total mixture weight (1), and at least two surface-active substance (SAS) having different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), selected from not-ionic, anionic, polymer SAS, preferably not0ionic; these SAS are in such quantity that to make the mixture (1) uniform mixture (1) dilution by the dispersion medium containing water with added at least one SAS selected from the specified SASs; this dispersion medium and SAS quantities are such that nanoemulsion is produced (oil-in-water) having HLB exceeding HLB of the mixture (1). Invention is developed in subclaims.

EFFECT: increased extraction efficiency.
