Physical principles of siesmic and vibro-siesmic enhanced oil recovery methods
Presented are different operating mechanics of elastic vibrations under conditons of single-phase, two-phase and three-phase filtration. Elastic vibration influence on creating conditions for gas release from oil without its degassing is studied. It is noted, that within fixed volume of pore space increase of gassed oil phase volume in elastic vibration field leads to corresponding displacement of water phase and, consequently, to reduction of average formation water saturation.
