ABSTRACT:
A method for improving hydrocarbon flow from a consolidated, tight reservoir rock having authigenic clay cementation includes thermally heating the reservoir rock in-situ surrounding a production well to change the mode of occurrence of clay cements within the rock so as to enhance reservoir permeability and carrying out rapid flowback into the production well.
