    摘要: Downhole tools, systems, and methods for electric-based fracturing are disclosed. A downhole tool for electric-based fracturing may include an outer enclosure, an insulator chamber disposed at least partially within the enclosure, and an electrode disposed at least partially within the insulator chamber. The electrode may extend out from the insulator chamber and the enclosure, and may be configured to transfer electric energy to an exterior environment surrounding the downhole tool. The insulator chamber may be configured to thermally and electrically insulate at least a portion of the electrode from the exterior environment.

    摘要: Systems and methods for deployment of electric-based fracturing tools in vertical wells are disclose. A method of electric-based fracturing may include lowering an electrical stimulation tool into a wellbore using a drill pipe and isolating a lower portion of the wellbore that is downhole from an upper portion of the wellbore. The electrical stimulation tool may be disposed in the lower portion of the wellbore. A system for electric-based fracturing may include an isolation mechanism and an electrical stimulation tool. The isolation mechanism may be configured to expand from a retracted configuration spaced from an interior surface of a wellbore to an expanded configuration in contact with the inner surface of the wellbore. The electrical stimulation tool may be operatively coupled with the isolation mechanism and may be configured to be disposed distally relative to the isolation mechanism when positioned in the wellbore.

    摘要: This invention provides a novel system and method for Electrical Reservoir Stimulation (ERS) that increases reservoir permeability for petroleum and geothermal applications without requiring pumping of material into the subsurface. This system and method can provide an inexpensive, reliable and more-environmentally friendly increase in reservoir productivity by releasing hydrocarbons from traps and captives, increasing fluid mobility due to viscosity reduction from electrical heating of the reservoir (extremely important for the extraction of highly viscous hydrocarbons), and providing increased reservoir permeability in the direction of interest from the vibrational removal of particles within sediment pores and initiating micro-fractures. The ERS system and method can also be applied in non-petroleum producing applications, such as for use in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), and generally avoids pumping high-pH chemicals and proppant material into the subsurface, a problem that has generally challenged operators in the geothermal and petroleum industries.
