ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for recovering oil from a subterranean, viscous oil-containing formation by injecting a gaseous driving fluid such as carbon dioxide into the formation and recovering oil therefrom while simultaneously transmitting vibrations in the seismic frequency range having an amplitude not exceeding 100 Angstrom units through the formation which enhances the flow of the carbon dioxide and thereby increases the efficiency of recovering the oil. The frequency of the vibrations is within the range of 0.1 the 500 Hz and preferably 1 to 100 Hz.
