- Abstract:
- An urgent task for the oil and gas industry is improving the efficiency of hydrocarbon recovery from difficult-torecover reserves (DTR). The study aimed to investigate the influence of component composition and initial conditions on operational characteristics (combustion rate, volume of gaseous products) of composite solid fuels (MSF) with an ammonium nitrate composition (ANC) and to develop recommendations for their optimization for use in downhole gas generators. A neural network software module validated on experimental data was employed. It was demonstrated that pressure and charge density are key factors governing the combustion process. Compositions of MSF ANC adapted to typical conditions in Western Siberia, the Volga-Ural region, and the Arctic were proposed. The results align with the Russian Federation’s Mineral Resource Complex Development Strategy (MRC) until 2035 and ISO 14001 requirements.
