<p>A system and method of liquefying a heavy oil formation to enhance oil production in a well, by inducing shear stress reversal within the formation by a plurality of expanding/contracting bladders in contact with the formation. The induced liquefaction enables formation materials and fluids to flow into the well and thus initiate and propagate the CHOPS (Cold Heavy Oil Production System) process, and thereby enhancing the hydrocarbon production of the well.</p> |
