LLC “Ukrainian Impulse Industry” is a company engaged in the development and implementation of dilatant decompression technology and fatigue effects in rock formations, as well as equipment for high-frequency impulse force wave treatment to increase the permeability of rock masses in situ at depths of up to 5,000 meters.
Work on studying the theory of dilatant decompression, developing technology for the action of high-frequency impulse force waves, and creating equipment for its implementation began back in 1976.
Currently, we apply dilatant decompression technology for the following purposes:
Enhancing oil and gas production by increasing reservoir rock permeability
Treating leachable ore bodies in in-situ leaching (ISL) operations and increasing leachate recovery rates (flow rates of pumped solutions).
Improving the efficiency of mine development by protecting mine workings from groundwater inflow.
We were the first in Ukraine and in the world to use high-frequency impulse force waves to control the filtration properties of rock formations in situ at depths of up to 5,000 meters, to change their permeability in order to increase the inflow of oil, gas, uranium, and sulfur, and to eliminate gas and solid formation and equipment clogging.
Unlike chemical methods of intensification, impulse force wave impact affects not only the near-wellbore zone but the entire formation. Compared to hydraulic fracturing, it is more delicate, affecting only the specified areas and intervals.
The technology allows for a new approach to assessing the prospects of deposits and increases hydrocarbon production by restoring output from depleted fields and rehabilitating wells with deteriorated hydrodynamic characteristics.
The technology and equipment are also widely used for treating leachable ore bodies to decompress them and increase the output of extraction solutions by leveling inflow profiles and removing contamination of the formation by fine-dispersed and clay particles.
This technology is additionally applied to enhance mining efficiency by protecting mine workings from groundwater and hydro-insulating soils, as well as for injecting sealing (grouting) solutions into the ground.
