This section addresses one of the most common questions we receive from clients: “What effect can be expected from treating a well that is already producing at a satisfactory rate?” or “If we are producing light oil and do not experience problems with mud, asphaltenes, resins, or paraffins — what benefit would the MPC Method bring?”
The answer lies in the enhanced efficiency that the MPC Method introduces, even under favorable reservoir conditions. When applied to high-yield wells with good permeability and reservoir pressure, our technology further improves those parameters — increasing overall hydrocarbon recovery. The gases released during the treatment intensively act on the near-wellbore zone, significantly improving permeability and boosting inflow performance.
The MPC Method works by injecting specially formulated chemical reagents into the wellbore, where they react in situ to generate high-temperature gas. In the initial phase of the process, the reaction inside the wellbore typically remains below 250°C. However, once the reaction front enters the reservoir, a secondary stage is triggered. This thermochemical wave causes a further rise in temperature — reaching up to 500°C inside the formation. This deeper, high-temperature reaction enables advanced chemical and physical effects beyond the near-wellbore zone.
It is well known that at least 30% of hydrocarbons in most fields remain trapped in the rock matrix and are considered non-recoverable by conventional methods. Our method actively disrupts the chemical structure of clathrate and hydrate compounds, breaking molecular bonds and releasing hydrocarbons previously locked in inaccessible pore space. Hydrogen atoms penetrate deeply into closed pores, weakening their internal structure. Even a minor increase in pressure — from the reaction itself or subsequent production flow — can open up these zones, releasing trapped hydrocarbons and turning unrecoverable reserves into real output.
The chain nature of the reaction within the reservoir means its effects can continue for weeks or even months after the initial treatment. The depth of gas penetration depends on formation characteristics, but in some documented cases, a single MPC treatment led to production increases not only in the treated well but also in adjacent wells located over 100 meters away — a clear indicator of deep, radial impact.
In summary, even for “healthy” wells with no immediate production problems, the MPC Method offers a unique opportunity to enhance reservoir performance, maximize recovery, and increase long-term field profitability — safely, efficiently, and without the mechanical stress or risks associated with conventional methods.
