Abstract:In recent years, field tests and laboratory investigations have demonstrated that high intensity acoustic stimulation may enhance oil recovery in rocks. This technology is not only technologically feasible, but also serves as an economical, environmentally friendly alternative to currently accepted EOR methods. It requires low capital expenditure, and yields almost immediate improvement without any additional EOR agents. Despite a vast body of empirical and theoretical support, this technology lacks sufficient… Show more
