The results of existing mathematical models application for processes of filtration and oil displacement from porous medium of reservoirs without regard to electro-kinetic processes differ significantly from experiments results. The paper reviews mathematical tasks of viscous liquid flow in the porous medium taking into account the action of electric and magnetic forces described via Maxwell’s equations. Obtained results were compared with those of laboratory researches, which are more reliable in comparison with field data. It was defined that proposed mathematical model considering electro-kinetic effects in viscous liquid flow positively describes the process of viscous fluid filtration in porous medium and enables to obtain final displacement ratio respectively easily allowing calculating field reserves with sufficient reliability, particularly in field design and economic efficiency stage.
