Description
Summary:Acoustic action on a productive stratum is one method for intensification of hydrocarbon mining. The physical mechanisms of acoustic action can be divided into two main groups: force and energy. The effect of any mechanism is associated with the structure and characteristics of the acoustic fields created by the radiation sources in the borehole. Therefore, the force and energy characteristics of the acoustic fields in the vicinity of a borehole are of high importance. These characteristics make it possible to estimate the prospects of applying the acoustic action under different conditions. The analytical estimates of the force and energy characteristics of the acoustic fields in the vicinity of a borehole are presented, and the requirements imposed on new-generation of borehole radiators are formulated on this basis, the use of which would help to more effectively develop deposits of highly viscous oils and residual gas condensates.
