Abstract:
Methods and systems for removing near wellbore damage in a hydrocarbon reservoir are described. In one example implementation, an antenna is positioned inside a wellbore in a location corresponding to a formation where near wellbore damage occurs. The wellbore extends from a surface of a hydrocarbon reservoir downward into the subterranean structure of the hydrocarbon reservoir. An electromagnetic (EM) wave is transmitted to the antenna. A portion of the EM wave is irradiated at the formation. The portion of the EM wave removes the near wellbore damage at the formation.

Claim (Index 13):
A method, comprising:\n positioning an antenna inside a wellbore in a location corresponding to a formation comprising near-wellbore damage, wherein the wellbore extends from a surface of a hydrocarbon reservoir into the hydrocarbon reservoir; flowing treatment fluid to the formation where near-wellbore damage occurs, wherein the treatment fluid changes at least one of an electrical conductivity or a dielectric property of the formation; after flowing the treatment fluid, transmitting an electromagnetic (EM) wave to the antenna; determining an irradiation power level based on a volume of a treatment zone, a density of the formation in the treatment zone, a target temperature change, and a treatment duration, wherein the irradiation power level is determined based on the following equation:\n p=cV\u03c1\u0394T/t  \n where p represents the irradiation power level, c represents specific heat, V represents the volume of the treatment zone, p represents the density of the formation in the treatment zone, \u0394T represents the target temperature change, and t represents the treatment duration; and irradiating, from the antenna, a portion of the EM wave having the determined irradiation power level at the formation, wherein the portion of the EM wave removes the near-wellbore damage at the formation.
