Abstract
Abstract In this article authors propose application of the wind-driven power units as power source of bottomhole electric steam generator for the thermal high-viscosity oil reservoir stimulation. The structure of the electro steam thermal complex is proposed. An analysis of the wind energy potential in the areas where the largest high-viscosity oil deposits in Russia are located is carried out. As part of the complex under consideration, the type of the dependence of the bottomhole electric steam generator’s power on the formation depth has been established. The calculation of the required installed capacity of wind power plants for placement as part of the electro steam thermal complex at the largest high-viscosity oil deposits in Russia has been performed.
