Increase in oil production under acoustic stimulation of the reservoir

Abstract

This work is devoted to the study of the effect on oil production of acoustic impact, carried out through a nonproducing well. The results of numerical modeling have confirmed the effectiveness of acoustic exposure. An additional increase in oil production is determined not only by the vibration frequency, but also by the distance between the emitter and the production well. The lower the vibration frequency and the closer the emitter is to the production well, the greater the effect of exposure. The results obtained can be used both when choosing a mode of acoustic impact on the formation to increase the efficiency of oil field development, and when developing technical means for generating elastic vibrations.
