Bottomhole zone treatment by creating pressure pulses at the wellhead of low-viscosity oil pools

Abstract

It is shown that when a borehole fluid surface is impacted by a compressor and receiver, the wave propagates to the bottom hole zone, where its amplitude increases due to the addition of the reflected wave. It was found that if it is necessary to obtain high speeds, it is more expedient to pump down of the liquid using more accessible hydraulic equipment, such as a pumping unit. It is noted that the use of simple and inexpensive supporting equipment allows creating a fluid flow at the wellhead with the required speed.
