It includes acid fracturing of formation with subsequent allocation of fractures using proppant. New method was tested in well No.132s2 of Marmovichskoe oilfield that had already been put into production and its rate of recovery has almost tripled. Development and scientific supervision of the idea is provided by the specialists of BelNIPIneft institute.

Implementation of the prospective technology will make acid fracturing more cost efficient on the sites of existing fund, as well as on the wells to be put into operation after drilling has been completed. Field operation programm, in general, includes testing of methods in five wells of Belarusian oilfields during the period of 2014-2015. As all the activities are performed, the specialists will be able to determine the prospectivity of new technique implementation.

This technology is used very rarely around the world. That is why, according to the specialists, mastering of acid fracturing with proppant will enable entering international service market with an innovative technical solution. Such big international companies as OJSC Rosneft and OJSC LUKOIL are interested in performing operations of such a kind.
