3-D Geomechanical Modeling of Reservoir Properties Changes when Applying Plasma Pulse Treatment

Technological ways to improve the efficiency of petrothermal power plants and increase their contribution to electricity generation

“…At the final stage of the research, using a software module Dual-Porosity Modeling (IrapRMS), a three-dimensional cube of values of the secondary porosity and permeability resulting from Plasma Pulse Treatment has been calculated for all 4 wells treated in the same area (Figure 7) [11]. As a result, all 4 wells were linked by a system of filtration channels, and in the crater formed there was an active desorption of methane and water from the coal beds, some part of which turned into the free state.…”
