METHOD TO INCREASE FORMATION HYDROCARBON YIELD AND INTENSIFY OIL-GAS-CONDENSATE PRODUCTION BY MEANS OF FORMATION RADIAL PENETRATION WITH WATER JET Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC E21B7/06 E21B29/06 E21B43/11 E21B43/16 

FIELD: oil and gas industry.

SUBSTANCE: method includes installing into the well a high-strength tubing, a diverter with inner channel extending therethrough, tying and possible thereof orientation in space in the interval of the lower level drilling of lateral wellbores, sealing the wellhead, installing downhole equipment comprising a water jet nozzle, control unit of the wellbore path, navigation system, working flexible tubing, a device for redistribution of flow, return valve feeding the flexible tubing, supplying liquid into the inter-string area of the tubing/flexible tubing, moving the water jet nozzle through the sealing device. Through the diverter, in contact with rock, drilling of planned length radial wellbore is conducted using the navigation system for monitoring actual position of the wellbore in the formation, and with using the control unit of the wellbore path to provide wellbore drilling along the planned path. After driving the working flexible tubing string with the nozzle through the formation, removal from the formation and well flushing is carried out up to complete discharge of slime. By actuation of the mechanical turning device, the diverter is moved to another plane. The work cycle is repeated for the next lateral wellbore. Milling of a separate port for each lateral wellbore is carried out immediately before performing the main operation for driving lateral wellbores through the diverter. When drilling the lateral wellbore, the wellbore path is determined and changed by supplying the working flexible tubing with wellbore path control unit and the navigation equipment. In order to perform drilling of radial wellbores at the following levels, the supply and working flexible tubing is extracted from the well, tubing is removed from the mechanical anchor, fitting pipe of the tubing that was preinstalled and equal to the length of the transition to the next level is removed, the tubing is seated on the mechanical anchor, and the working flexible tubing with navigation system, control unit of the wellbore path, water jet nozzle is run in into well, after that the operation for drilling of radial wellbores is repeated.

EFFECT: increased productivity of wells and hydrocarbons recovery factor, possibility to conduct address action on the formation, possibility to conduct intensification without effecting on string cement support with considerable pressure drop and chemical destruction, possibility to stimulate the formation by a significant pressure drop or chemical failure, cleaning the wellbore when drilling thereof.
