Improving the Productivity of Wells by Means of Acoustic Impact on High-Viscosity Oil in the Channels of the Face Zone of a Well

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

The effect of an acoustic field generated by a submersible device on the viscosity of oil present in the channels of the face zone reservoir of a well is considered. It is shown that forced vibrations of the walls of the porous structure of the stratum induce a flow of constant velocity in the viscous liquid, which may be interpreted as a decrease in the effective viscosity. An experimental verification of the calculations was performed and confirmed the reliability of the mathematical calculations and demonstrated the efficacy of ultrasound.
