The productivity of oil wells is determined by the hydrocarbon reserves of deposits, and the qualitative condition of the bottomhole formation zone and its permeability. Known various intensification technologies of well productivity are: thermal, gas and physicochemical methods. The authors of this research developed and tested energy accumulating substances based on aluminum Rau-85, at the same time combining both physical and chemical methods of layer stimulation. Developed alloys and composites have significant advantages over known compositions. Analysis of the physicochemical properties of the oil obtained after processing by Rau-85 shows that in comparison with the untreated oil density they increased from 0.809 to 0.812 g/cm3, and the kinematic viscosity decreased from 9.66 to 7.99 mm2/s. It is known that one of the areas of enhanced oil recovery is where injected gases and heating oil are found in the reservoir. According to this, the use of reactant Rau-85 will lead to enhanced oil recovery.
