The acoustic oscillation effect on the saturated pore-medium filtration characteristics with the purpose of oil recovery improvement and intensification of the flow

The article describes a perspective method of the acoustic effect on the saturated pore media to increase filtration characteristics. A hypothesis of the effect of non-harmonic oscillations of a complex wave profile is formulated, including frequency spectra resonant with both the rock and saturating fluids, which together can cause a synergistic effect repeatedly increasing the filtration rate. A laboratory setup designed for this purpose has been also described. (paper)
