Due to the released heat, heavy oil components are melted, deposited on the pore channels of the rock near the bottomhole zone and worsening the permeability of the bottomhole rock zone and reservoir injectivity. As a result of the impact of the composition, the permeability of the bottomhole zone and the injectivity of the injection well increase. Such an impact is also effective in that there is no loss of generated heat as a result of the exothermic reaction, and it directly affects the restoration of the permeability of the bottomhole formation zone and improves the rheological properties of oil.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Conducted experiments have shown that, due to the effect of the proposed composition on clay rocks, clays do not swell, but, on the contrary, hydrophobization of the rock surface occurs due to clay compression, which prevents the subsequent negative impact of water on clay rocks. The reason for this incident is the acidic nature of the proposed composition. These properties of the proposed composition are a guarantee that its use in any formations (sandy, clayey, carbonate, dolomites, etc.) will be effective.
