ELECTRICAL TREATMENT TO REVIVE DEAD GAS WELLS DUE TO WATER BLOCKAGE
Abstract:
A system for electrical treatment in a reservoir with gas wells is disclosed. The system includes a first well in the reservoir configured to act as an electrode, the reservoir having a plurality of pore spaces saturated by water, and a second well in the reservoir configured to act as a second electrode hydraulically connected to the first well. A power unit is connected to the first and second wells by a cable configured to emit an electric current to the first well and the second well into the reservoir. The electric current enlarges the plurality of pore spaces in the reservoir, facilitating a production of gas from the water. A transformer is connected to the power unit by the cable, the transformer being configured to step down a voltage from a power supply to the power unit. The power supply is connected to the transformer by the cable.
