Disclosed is a washing machine having ball balancers, which adjust a relation between a gap, between the inner wall of a racer of each of the ball balancers and balls, and viscous oil, so as to reduce the vibration and noise of the washing machine. Each of the ball balancers of the washing machine includes balls and viscous oil accommodated in a racer, and the viscosity of the viscous oil is varied in proportion to a gap between the racer and the balls. When the viscosity of the viscous oil is 1˜100 cSt, the gap is set to 0.5˜1.0 mm, when the viscosity of the viscous oil is 100˜380 cSt, the gap is set to 1.0˜2.0 mm, and when the viscosity of the viscous oil is 380˜1,000 cSt, the gap is set to 2.0˜3.0 mm. Thereby, the relation between the gap and the viscous oil is optimized, and the ball balancers effectively exhibit a balancing function and thus minimize the vibration and noise of the washing machine.

To recover in situ viscous oil from an underground reservoir, electricity is conducted through the underground reservoir by at least two electrodes in an amount that would, in the absence of solvent injection, cause water in the reservoir to vaporize adjacent to the electrodes, and injecting solvent into the reservoir to mitigate water vaporization adjacent to the electrodes by vaporizing solvent in this region. Oil and solvent are produced through one or more production wells.

The invention relates to a viscous oil exploitation method, in particular to a fire flooding oil exploitation method used for gas injection by a vertical well and oil exploitation by horizontal well. The invention adopts the compound well-layout manner of steam injection by vertical wells and oil exploitation by horizontal wells, which means that six vertical wells are for gas injection and two oil exploitation wells for oil exploitation, or nine vertical wells for gas injection and three oil exploitation wells for oil exploitation. When the wells are drilled, the vertical wells are drilled until they reach the half thickness of an oil layer, and gas is injected above the half thickness of the oil layer. The horizontal wells are under the half thickness of the oil layer. The gas-cap pressure produced by burning of the gas-injected oil layer of the above vertical wells presses the crude oil of the lower part, while the crude oil flows to the horizontal well sections by the self-gravity and then is exploited from the exploitation wells . The invention overcomes the shortcoming that gas channeling can be easily formed horizontally along an oil layer in a high-penetration passage inside the oil layer, and promotes the final recovery rate of the oil layer through fire flooding by fifteen percent.

The invention is directed to a method for controlling driving fluid breakthrough caused by zones of pressure communication, i.e., a matrix bypass event (“MBE”) or a wormhole, having a void space and possibly areas of enhanced permeability (a halo region) associated with the void space, within a subterranean formation arising from use of a driving fluid in reservoirs where heavy/viscous oil is being produced. In particular, the method is directed to remediation of pressure communication between injection and production wells used to produce heavy/viscous oil by way of a waterflood operation combined with a cold production method. Direct or rapid communication of water between the injector and producer wells makes the waterflood recovery process virtually ineffective and limits the production of oil from the reservoir. The invention comprises in embodiments a method wherein a slurry of a cementitious material is injected into the zone, which upon setting, provides a cement plug in the void space that reduces the pressure communication and flow of driving fluid within the zone. Another step is used to inject a gel precursor within the zone, which upon setting, produces a gel plug that also reduces pressure communication and driving fluid flow through the halo region of the zone.
