Key words: innovative technology, wave methods, numerical reservoir simulation.

The stimulation technology of hydrocarbon raw production by high pressure impulses is really urgent nowadays. This is due to the fact that a large amount of deposits which are projected for field development are complex systems - fractured reservoirs complicated by presence of clay inclusions. Besides, the formations are often characterized by weak flowability. For example, the vast layers of the Bagenov deposit are very perspective, but too difficult for development because of low permeability of collector and high content of kerogen and shale deposits. The explosion impact technique is considered nowadays as the most perspective direction in field development of hard extractable hydrocarbon raw. The purpose of the present work is the numerical analysis of inleak stimulation by high pressure waves to fractured well. The computer estimation of safety using this shock action method is spent for data of real well that have been simulated by hydraulic fracturing techniques. The stimulation method by high pressure wave can be used as an independent stimulation method for low-permeability reservoirs of heavy hydrocarbons and as of additional stimulation method for reservoirs in which have already been applied another technologies such as fracturing. The simulation results of wave processing were used for real deposits forecasting.
