In the majority of countries, including the USA, the development and use of petroleum and natural gas deposits goes back to the late 19th century. In practical terms, all major petroleum and natural gas formations on land have already been discovered. The development of oil and gas fields has been on ongoing concern for many decades. The wells in theses fields have already yielded a significant part of their oil and gas. Over the period of time, irreversible processes have taken place in the near-well zones: the formation of and filling of the pores in the rock of the near-well zone with light fractions of productive rock, capillarization, which leads also to the blocking of channels, and the swelling of the argillaceous minerals in the rock. It is known that over a period of time, wells lose their initial output and become economically unjustifiable. At the present time, wells of this type number in the thousands in oil and gas fields all over the world.
